The Sun Exclusive: Amorim cares about Lamens like a father and wants him to become Courtois 2.0

Hupu reported on October 8 that Sun Sports reporters Katherine Walsh and Steve Brenner exclusively reported that Ruben Amorim hopes Sene Lamens can become Manchester United’s version of Thibaut Courtois.

And this goal has become more realistic, because his young goalkeeper has received regular morale-boosting training from Amorim.

Since Lamens joined on the transfer deadline for £18.2 million, Manchester United coach Amorim has been guiding him with almost paternal care.

He regards the 23-year-old Belgian as the future pillar of Manchester United's defense.

Club sources said that the Portuguese coach views Ramence as Courtois 2.0 because of his combination of aerial ability, strength and strong ball control ability.

Artai Baindil was United's first-choice goalkeeper in their opening six Premier League games - but Amorim made the switch, handing Lamenz his debut against Sunderland on Saturday.

The risk paid off as the goalkeeper looked composed as goals from Mason Mount and Benjamin Sheshko ensured a 2-0 victory.

Lamens caught two high-altitude crosses and confidently made three saves, earning a standing ovation from the home audience.

When the final whistle sounded, his teammates also hugged him.

The Stretford Stand even sang loudly: "Are you played by Peter Schmeichel?"
