Roy Keane has criticised Manchester United goalkeeper Senne Lammens for a dip in form this season.

Roy Keane has criticised Manchester United goalkeeper Senne Lammels for a decline in form this season. Speaking on The Overlap and Stick to Football, Keane said the goalkeeper is 'costing' the club after performing well in his first season at Old Trafford.

Lammels joined United for £18m from Royal Antwerp in summer 2025 and impressed in his debut campaign, helping the club achieve Champions League qualification. The 24-year-old Belgian international displaced fellow goalkeeper Andre Onana and earned praise from club legend Sir Alex Ferguson.

However, Lammels has struggled this season. United have conceded 13 goals in eight Premier League games, the seventh-most in the division. In Manchester United's recent 3-0 defeat to Bournemouth, Lammels made an unforced error when he came out to meet a pass but was beaten to the ball by Evanilson, who scored into an empty net. He also conceded six goals in United's last two Champions League games.

Paul Scholes has also questioned Lammels' credentials, saying the 'jury was still out' on whether he possesses the ability to help United compete for the Premier League title. Scholes asked: 'What team have you seen win the Premier League without a top-class goalkeeper?'
