Lamens: I am an all-round goalkeeper, inspired by Neuer and Courtois since childhood
Ramons, 23, joined Manchester United from Antwerp on the transfer deadline, and football director Jason Wilcox described him as "a outstanding young goalkeeper with great potential." At the Carrington base, Ramens gave his first interview to Manchester United's official website, during which he talked about his game style.
In the 2024/2025 season, Ramens made 44 appearances for Antwerp and became a high-profile star in Belgian football. He was selected for the national team for the first time in March.
Lamens said: "I'm very comprehensive and I'm proud of it. Of course, I have something to improve in every way."
"I like to work with the team from the backcourt and control the ball with my feet. I like to help the team control the space behind the defense and assist my defender. Of course, if you want to be a top goalkeeper here, you have to be a great saver, so I think I'm an all-round goalkeeper."
"I can continue to improve, I've already Can't wait to start training and improve myself so that I can take the next step. "
" Growing up, I watched a lot of football games. When I grew up and became a goalkeeper, my inspiration was Neuer and Courtois, who were my fellow countrymen, and I admired them very much." "
Lamens made saves (173) in the European Top Ten last season, and he said he inevitably saw this data on social media.
"You need a team that can show off. I think joining Antwerp is a perfect step for me, and playing from there. It's a high-level game, but you also have a lot of opportunities to show yourself, you have a lot of work to do in front of the goal."
"Everything came together last season, and every piece of the puzzle fits perfectly, so seeing these statistics is what I've been working on, and I'm really happy that last season I could see my performance."
Lamens didn't mention one of his characteristics at the first time, that is, his goal-scoring ability. In 2019, he headed the ball against Real Madrid for Bruges in a UEFA Youth League match.
"I don't know you know this too! That's a long time ago. It's also the moment when the dream comes true. It's a very beautiful memory to be able to help the team in the last few minutes."
