In a stunning turn of events at Carrington, Manchester United's new teenage acquisition Senne Lammens has been abruptly exiled from first-team training. The 19-year-old Belgian goalkeeper, who signed for the Red Devils just last summer, has committed a cardinal sin in the eyes of manager Erik ten Hag.
The young shot-stopper failed to report for scheduled training sessions, a transgression that has prompted immediate and severe consequences from the Dutch boss. Lammens has now been ordered to train away from the main United squad indefinitely, a dramatic fall from grace for a player once highly regarded by the club's recruitment team.
A Promising Career Derailed
Lammens arrived at Old Trafford with a burgeoning reputation from Club Brugge, seen as a prospect for the future. However, his failure to maintain basic professional standards has sparked serious questions about his attitude and commitment.
This disciplinary action sends a powerful message throughout the club: no player, regardless of age or potential, is above the fundamental requirements of professionalism at Manchester United.
Ten Hag's Zero-Tolerance Policy
The incident reinforces Erik ten Hag's reputation as a strict disciplinarian who demands absolute dedication from his players. This isn't the first time the manager has taken firm action against players failing to meet his exacting standards.
United insiders suggest the situation reflects poorly on Lammens' long-term prospects at the club, potentially jeopardising his career in English football before it has properly commenced.
