Report claims Senne Lammens handed Manchester United No 1 shirt

Manchester United have handed the No 1 shirt to Senne Lammens, according to reporting on Wednesday. Ben Jacobs reports that Lammens has been allocated the club’s primary squad number for goalkeepers.

The update is presented as information rather than a formal club announcement, and no further details are provided on timing or any related decisions. As things stand, it remains a reported change to United’s squad list rather than an official confirmation from the club.

In English football the No 1 jersey is traditionally worn by the leading goalkeeper, although allocations can be adjusted and shirt numbers alone do not conclusively determine selection order. Without corroborating detail from United, the development should be viewed in that context.

Even so, the number switch, if confirmed, would be a notable marker within United’s goalkeeping group. The report does not specify any knock-on implications elsewhere in the squad.
