David Moyes, the manager of Everton, has reserved some admiration for one Manchester United player who was the ‘best player and bloody brilliant’ on Monday night.
The Red Devils improved their chances of qualifying for the Champions League on Monday after defeating Everton 1-0 at The Hill Dickinson Stadium.
With three points separating Manchester United from third-place Aston Villa in the standings, summer acquisition Benjamin Sesko completed a brilliant counterattack to score in his third straight game.
Sesko has gotten along well with fellow summer additions Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha, but their best 2025–26 acquisition may have been No. 1 Senne Lammens.

The inexperienced goalkeeper has slotted in seamlessly to fix Man Utd’s problem position, and Moyes thinks he was “bloody brilliant” against Everton.
Moyes Hails Lammens As The Best Player For Man United
“I thought we did well in lots of bits, we get done on the counter and they get the one goal. We put in effort to score but lacked quality to get the goal,” Moyes said after Everton’s 1-0 loss to Man Utd as quoted by Football 365.
“We weren’t organised well enough off the ball. I have to praise them [United] for their quick attack. We knew that would be the case, they’ve been doing that really well.
“Their goalkeeper [Senne Lammens] did a great job, made an amazing save from Michael Keane, looked as if he could take every corner kick. I thought there was a goal in there for us but we couldn’t quite do it.
“The goalie was bloody brilliant for them tonight. The save he made from Michael Keane, the corner kicks.
“The pressure we had. You can look another way and say we should have tried something else. For me their goalkeeper was the best player tonight.”
