Man Utd fans come up with new Lammens chant after impressive debut

Manchester United fans have come up with new chant for Senne Lammens after the Belgian goalkeeper impressed on his debut for the club. After more than a month since moving to United from Royal Antwerp, Lammens was finally handed his much-awaited debut as Ruben Amorim benched Altay Bayindir, who has been the Portuguese coach's first-choice custodian since the start of the new season.

Amorim confident Man Utd players 'don't want to change coach'

Ruben Amorim said he could feel that his Manchester United players do not want him to get sacked after they beat Sunderland 2-0 to ease the pressure on the coach. Goals from Mason Mount and Benjamin Sesko gave United a third win of the season and soothed the pain of last week's defeat at Brentford, which led to high profile figures such as Gary Neville and Wayne Rooney fiercely criticising Amorim.

Amorim explains decision to bench Bayindir for Lammens

Ruben Amorim has explained why he dropped Altay Bayindir from Manchester United's starting lineup against Sunderland in the Premier League. After a series of disappointing performances for the Red Devils, Amorim benched the Turkey international as he handed a debut to deadline day signing Senne Lammens. The Belgian custodian was finally handed the chance to play more than a month after moving from Royal Antwerp.

Lay off Sesko! Amroim to blame for Man Utd striker's struggles

"He has great potential. He's really smart, a guy who's always thinking," Ruben Amorim said after Benjamin Sesko's £74 million ($101m) switch to Manchester United from RB Leipzig at the start of August. "He can play a different type of football. He is going to feel that the Premier League is aggressive. He is going to learn. But Ben can be a striker for United for a lot of years; that's why we paid so much money to have a striker who will have his history in our club."

Amorim: My biggest concern is players listening to the media

Ruben Amorim has made light of the deep criticism he has received in recent weeks amid Manchester United's dismal start to the season by insisting it is nothing like what he used to face back in Portugal. Wayne Rooney, Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher all took a swipe at the United boss in the aftermath of the 3-1 defeat at Brentford but he insists he takes it all in his stride.

Another Man Utd flop?! Leeds & Sunderland backed away from Lammens

Manchester United have unveiled Senne Lammens as their newest recruit in a deal worth up to £21.7 million ($29m), but reports have revealed that Leeds and Sunderland had backed away from him over concerns of his suitability in the Premier League. United could have opted for proven Premier League quality in Aston Villa’s World Cup-winning Emi Martinez, yet the Old Trafford hierarchy instead banked on the promise of a 23-year-old.

Die Lizenzfußballabteilung des BVB ist seit 1999 als Borussia Dortmund GmbH & Co. KGaA aus dem Ballspielverein Borussia 09 e.V. ausgegliedert und börsennotiert. Aktionäre mit höheren Anteilen sind beispielsweise die Sponsoren Evonic, Signal Iduna und Puma. Die Kontrolle über den Verein behält allerdings die Komplementär-GmbH Borussia Dortmund Geschäftsführungs-GmbH, die dem Verein weiterhin zu 100 Prozent gehört.

Das Stadion heißt seit Dezember 2005 offiziell Signal-Iduna-Park, wird allerdings häufig noch Westfalenstadion genannt - der frühere Name.

Der Signal-Iduna-Park ist mit einer Kapazität von 81.365 Fans bei nationalen Spielen eines der größten Fußballstadien Europas. Bei internationalen Partien, wenn Steh- zu Sitzplätzen umgewandelt werden müssen, passen rund 66.000 Menschen in das Stadion. 

Borussia Dortmund hat in der Vereinsgeschichte insgesamt 22 Titel gewonnen, darunter auch einmal die Königsklasse: Im Jahr 1997 schlug der BVB im Finale Juventus Turin mit 3:1.

Die Dortmunder haben neben fünf DFB-Pokalsiegen auch die nationale Meisterschaft häufig gewonnen. Mit acht Titeln sind sie der dritterfolgreichste Klub nach dem 1. FC Nürnberg (9 Meisterschaften) und dem FC Bayern München (34 Meisterschaften).

Die meisten Pflichtspiele im BVB-Trikot hat Michael Zorc absolviert (562 Partien von 1981 bis 1998), gefolgt von Mats Hummels (508 Einsätze zwischen 2008 und 2024).

Toptorschütze der Borussia ist Adi Preißler mit 177 Toren in 278 Einsätzen in den 40er- und 50er-Jahren. Knapp hinter ihm liegt Marco Reus mit 170 Buden.

Der BVB hatte zahlreiche prominente Spieler in seinen Reihen, beispielsweise Matthias Sammer, Michael Zorc, Lars Ricken, Karl-Heinz Riedle, Jürgen Kohler, Stefan Reuter, Dede, Robert Lewandowski, Marco Reus, Jude Bellingham, Erling Haaland oder Mats Hummels.

Auch an der Seitenlinie standen einige prominente Namen. Unter Ottmar Hitzfeld gewann der Klub neben Meisterschaften in 1997 die Champions League, auch unter Jürgen Klopp (u.a. 2x Meisterschaft, 2x DFB-Pokal), Thomas Tuchel (DFB-Pokal) und Matthias Sammer (Meisterschaft) sammelte Dortmund einige Trophäen.

Spitznamen hat Borussia Dortmund einige. Die Abkürzung "BVB" ist die gängigste Bezeichnung, auch "die Schwarz-Gelben" und "die Borussen" fallen oft.
