Four days before Manchester United travel to the Riyadh Air Metropolitano, their new goalkeeper is already looking for a reset.

Senne Lammens was beaten by a Dominic Solanke header deep into stoppage time at Old Trafford on Saturday, and the 1-1 draw with 10-man Tottenham extended United’s winless Premier League run to four games.

“For me personally, if I haven’t had the best game, I’m looking forward to the next one to get that sour feeling out of my mouth,” Lammens told reporters.

The 12 minutes United could not kill

Bryan Mbeumo had put United ahead in the 73rd minute. Five minutes later Rodrigo Bentancur was sent off for a headbutt motion at Luke Shaw, and the hosts had twelve minutes plus stoppage time to see the game out against ten men. Solanke equalised in the 92nd.

Lammens pointed at the gap between taking the lead and seeing it off.

“You find a way to get the game, to get the advantage, to score a goal, to get 1-0 up against 10 men,” the Belgian said.

“We need to learn a lot from it, because these are the games you have to try to pull towards yourself.”

He was blunter still about the final play, when Solanke rose unmarked at the back post.

“So you want to be able to kill the game straight away, and get another goal, or not give them any chances. I think that’s what we did wrong,” Lammens told United’s own channels.

“I think we gave them a little bit too much breathing room for them to create those chances, and then one ball has to get lucky.”

Carrick: ‘It hurts a lot’

The final whistle at Old Trafford was met with boos. Michael Carrick, confirmed as head coach on a two-year deal in the summer, did not dodge them.

“It’s not nice, it hurts a lot because I care about this club. But I understand the disappointment, the reality is what it is,” Carrick told his post-match press conference.

The reality is six points from six Premier League games, United’s worst return at this stage of a top-flight season since 1986-87. The club has yet to keep a league clean sheet.

Champions League trip to Atletico Madrid next

The slump reads unusually sharply because last season ended with a third-place finish and Champions League qualification. The optimism that came with it has emptied out through autumn, and the fixture list offers no obvious landing spot: Atletico Madrid away in the Champions League on Tuesday, before Liverpool at Anfield the following weekend.

Lammens, signed from Royal Antwerp over the summer and now United’s first-choice goalkeeper, framed the next few days as something to grab rather than fear.

“After a disappointment, you can take that with you, or you can get it changed real quick,” he said.
