Manchester United goalkeeper Senne Lammens has highlighted the impact of Michael Carrick on the club\u2019s defensive improvement following their 1-0 Premier League victory over Everton at Goodison Park.<\/p>\n
After producing another assured performance between the posts, Lammens praised the collective organisation and unity that has developed since Carrick\u2019s arrival on the coaching staff. Speaking after the match, the young goalkeeper stressed that the foundation of United\u2019s recent success has been built on discipline and teamwork at the back.<\/p>\n
\u201cSince Michael Carrick has come in, we\u2019ve been defending really well together,\u201d Lammens said. \u201cActually, all season almost. We knew if the defence kept it to zero, we have that chance.\u201d<\/p>\n
United\u2019s narrow win over Everton was another example of their growing resilience, with the defence holding firm despite sustained pressure in the second half. Lammens made several key interventions to preserve the clean sheet, underlining his importance to a side that has increasingly relied on defensive stability to grind out results.<\/p>\n
The statistics back up his words. Manchester United have now lost just two of their last 21 Premier League games in which Lammens has featured, while the team have recorded three clean sheets in their last six matches. Those numbers reflect a clear shift in approach, with Carrick\u2019s influence helping to bring structure and confidence to the defensive unit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
