Overview

• Altay Bayindir’s failure to claim a Declan Rice corner allowed Riccardo Calafiori to head home the only goal in Manchester United’s 1-0 home defeat to Arsenal.
• Gary Neville described United’s goalkeeping as a “glaring issue” and singled out Emiliano Martinez and Gianluigi Donnarumma as the most realistic targets for their big-match experience.
• The decision to leave Andre Onana out of the squad for the opener has intensified calls for a clear first-choice keeper.
• Manager Ruben Amorim defended Bayindir’s involvement in the goal and refused to confirm whether United will recruit a new goalkeeper before the window closes.
• Pundits have highlighted Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya’s commanding performance as a benchmark after he earned player of the match honours.
