Rio Ferdinand Reveals Courtois' Praise for New United Signing Senne Lammens

Manchester United's latest goalkeeping acquisition, Senne Lammens, has a powerful new fan: none other than Real Madrid's star goalkeeper, Thibaut Courtois. This is according to Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand, who shared a conversation he had with the Belgian international. Lammens joined the Red Devils from Royal Antwerp in a move that has been met with both excitement and concern about his ability to adapt to the rigors of the Premier League.

Speaking on his YouTube show, "Rio Ferdinand Presents," Ferdinand admitted he had some concerns about the young goalkeeper's transition to English football. However, he revealed that his worries were eased after a positive assessment from Courtois, who himself is a highly-regarded former Premier League goalkeeper.

According to Ferdinand, Courtois gave him a "resounding judgment," telling him that Lammens has "great potential." While acknowledging that the 23-year-old will need some time to adjust, this endorsement from one of the world's best goalkeepers provides a huge boost of confidence for Lammens and the Manchester United faithful.

Lamman's move to Old Trafford came at the final stages of the summer transfer window, and the club will be hoping he can provide strong competition for the number one spot and live up to the high praise he has received.
