In the auto-generated save, he has remained with Genk for a few seasons and helped them win the league on a couple of occasions. He has even won the golden glove in the league for his performances on a few occasions and this has resulted in several top clubs being interested in him.
Eventually, he has signed for Man Utd in the 2026-2027 season of the autosave and has performed admirably for the club since joining. In the 2030 season of the autosave, he is one of the best goalkeepers in the game.
