Manchester United drew 0-0 with Sunderland in a key match of the 36th round of the 2025/26 Premier League season, after missing several scoring opportunities. Goalkeeper Lamens said he was happy to help his team keep a clean sheet and put them in a competitive position in the game.
During the match against Sunderland, Cunha missed several scoring opportunities, but goalkeeper Lamens repeatedly saved Manchester United from the crises created by Sunderland.
Manchester United ultimately drew 0-0 with Sunderland away from home. After a run of 3 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss in their last 5 matches, Carrick's team currently sits in 3rd place in the league table with 65 points.
Manchester United goalkeeper Lamens said in an interview: "We should have done better in terms of possession. Coming to an away game, considering the way Sunderland play and the support of the fans, we knew it would be a difficult game, so we had to give our best. I don't think we really did that in terms of possession."
"However, from a defensive point of view, it is very important to keep a clean sheet, which is also important for our defenders and the whole team, so this is a positive factor that we can take away from this game."
Lamenz said, "I have to help the team here. Their style of play emphasizes physical confrontation and they have a strong attacking mentality. They will definitely create opportunities, but that is inevitable."
“I have to be ready at all times and help the team, especially the saves in the first half were crucial because they were starting to build momentum. I tried to keep the team in the competition because that’s the goalkeeper’s job, so I’m happy to be able to help the team.”
In addition, Manchester United will host Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford in the next round of the league, which will be the "Red Devils'" last home game in the Premier League this season.
Lamenz continued, "The last few games are really important. We need to maintain our momentum and finish the season with as many points as possible and in the highest possible ranking."
"Next week is our last home game, and we hope to give back to the fans because they have supported us throughout the season, through good times and bad. I think this will be a very important game for me personally, for the team, and for the coach, and we will do our best to win."
