Manchester United fans thought they had seen the worst of it last season, but a terrifying new statistic suggests that the man between the sticks might not be the real problem at Old Trafford. Whether it is André Onana or new recruit Senne Lammens, the numbers are becoming impossibly identical.
The comparison is enough to make any fan do a double-take. In the 2024/2025 season, André Onana faced a brutal start, conceding 23 goals in his first 15 games 🥅.
Fast forward to the current 2025/2026 campaign with Lammens, and the result is exactly the same: 15 games, 23 goals conceded 😳.
It is a statistical anomaly that points to a much deeper, systemic issue within the United squad.
While individual errors often take the blame, these mirrored stats suggest that the goalkeeper is simply the victim of a defensive structure that hasn’t changed in twelve months. Despite shifting personnel and rotating the back four, the “same problem” remains—a goal-per-game ratio that makes winning silverware nearly impossible.
For Lammens, the pressure is mounting to prove he is the upgrade the club paid for. But as long as the defensive gate remains wide open, he seems destined to repeat Onana’s history.
