Senne Lammens' actions during Man Utd's win over Nottingham Forest speak volumes

 Manchester United goalkeeper Senne Lammens highlighted the squad's team spirit through his jubilant celebrations during the victory over Nottingham Forest. Michael Carrick's side secured a 3-2 win at Old Trafford on Sunday as Bruno Fernandes matched a Premier League record with his 20th assist of the season.

Luke Shaw broke the deadlock for United and Matheus Cunha subsequently restored the hosts' advantage early in the second half before Bryan Mbeumo added a third. Forest's Morgan Gibbs-White pulled one back for the visitors but United held firm to claim all three points..

Mbeumo's strike ultimately secured the victory, yet the goalscorer was not the focal point of the team's celebrations. Instead, United's players rushed to congratulate Fernandes for providing the assist and drawing level with Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne's record tally.

The United squad were clearly well aware that the 31-year-old was on the verge of the record and were keen to pay tribute to their skipper. The side's enthusiasm was embodied by Lammens sprinting the full length of the pitch to join Fernandes in the celebrations. The goalkeeper's wholehearted reaction was noticed by numerous United supporters, who applauded his celebration on social media.

One United supporter wrote on X: "Lammens came all the way to congratulate Bruno. The vibes are immaculate." A second fan posted: "Lammens coming up to celebrate with Bruno. MY GOAT." A third social media user said: "Lammens running up the pitch, this really is a club of love."

A fourth added: "Lammens running the length of the pitch to celebrate Bruno equalling the assist record. Look how chuffed they all are for him man." A fifth United follower wrote: "The way they all celebrated with Bruno when he wasn't even the goalscorer, even Lammens joined in."

Others highlighted Fernandes' significance to United, with one fan stating: "Lammens running to celebrate with Bruno... this is what it means (also shows what an amazing captain he is..)." Another wrote: "The way everyone went to congratulate Bruno after his assist, even Lammens came up...I love this club."

The victory over Forest was the latest sign of how Carrick has revitalised the squad during his tenure. The 44-year-old has secured 11 wins from his 16 matches in charge, steering United to Champions League qualification.

Meanwhile, Lammens has enjoyed an impressive debut season at the club following his arrival from Royal Antwerp last summer, clocking up 31 league appearances. The 23-year-old has previously discussed Fernandes' impact as captain and how the midfielder helped him settle into his new surroundings.

"I mean, he's the way I like it, to be honest, he's not always the most vocal," Lammens said of Fernandes last month. "He speaks when he needs to, especially before big games or when we have maybe more difficulties.

"He's also someone who's very, very hard on himself and on everybody else, which is why maybe sometimes he can look a little bit frustrated when it's not going our way, but that's also the way it has to be at this level, I think, because he wants to win Champions Leagues and he wants to win the Premier League.

"So that's what he's thinking about and that's what he tries to give us as well, and tries to take us to his level as well. So, yeah, he's a leader on and off the pitch, and also like personally, he's always very nice to me when I came in here.

"In my first days, he showed open arms to me, so it's always a nice feeling when that comes from your most important player, the captain as well. It's always a nice feeling."
