What has Senne Lammens said about Manchester United move?
United new boy Lammens has outlined his excitement following his move to England. He will be eager to make a positive impression. As with any player from abroad though, patience will be required whilst he adapts to life in his new country.
Following his move, he has said: “This is my dream move. When I was five, United was at the height of football and you keep in your memory how big Manchester United is, so, when I heard they were interested, it was like a childhood dream.
I remember being a kid, Manchester United winning the Champions League and winning the league, and also [I want] to help the team get to a level that you can compete for a title again and to play Champions League again. That’s also one of my biggest points, that I want to grow with the team and go up to the heights that used to be Manchester United.
“It’s one of the biggest clubs in the world and the Premier League is the biggest competition in the world. In my team in Antwerp, there were some players who were also in England and, when I talked to them about. Manchester United, you could directly see their face change. The club alone, the aura of the club, it’s massive, and being here today, seeing it, it’s a different level. It’s crazy. So, that was also a big part of why I chose Manchester United. I’m very happy that we could get it done today.”
