The 23-year-old goalkeeper moved to Manchester United from Royal Antwerp ahead of the start of the season, and while there has been growing concern about the rise in corner scrums during set pieces, he doesn’t mind.

He told Telegraph Sport: “It’s been like this all season.

“For me, it’s just the way it is. It’s the Premier League. It’s physical and, like you say, a bit of a war in the 16…

“Of course there have to be certain rules. I mean, it can’t get to the point where it’s too much.

“That’s something that the Premier League has to look towards. It’s difficult for me to say. You try to protect the goalkeeper a little bit sometimes and maybe there are some situations where they could have been protected more.

“But for me, if it continues like this, just the physicality in general and those corners, I like it, I have to say. I like the challenge. I enjoy it – getting out of my comfort zone a little bit and dealing with those situations.

“Even though there were a lot of bodies next to me, I still came for crosses so that also gives me a good feeling that I’m doing well.

“Everyone has to deal with it. It’s not that only one team does it. As a goalkeeper, you have to get used to that, and train on it and then get better at it and yeah, I think I’ve been doing a good job at it so I’ll continue to do that.”

Senne is proud of his performance on the pitch away from simply making saves.

He said: “As a goalkeeper the first thing you have to do is make saves, that’s most important, but I take a lot of pride in doing the other things well.

“Maybe not always the box-office stuff or the things people look at first. If you know a bit about goalkeeping, that’s probably as important for your team-mates to trust in you and help out the team.

“Sometimes at United, I don’t really have to do a lot of saves, but it’s also sometimes the most difficult [situation] when there are only one or two saves, but you have to make them.”
