A wild-eyed Ruben Amorim staunchly defended his decision to start Altay Bayındır for Manchester United against Arsenal on Sunday afternoon even if the Turkish goalkeeper was at fault for the game’s only goal.
United were impressive for large swathes of the 1–0 defeat at Old Trafford, forcing Arsenal’s David Raya into seven saves, the most of any goalkeeper across the opening weekend of Premier League action. However, new recruits Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha failed to take advantage of these opportunities, while Riccardo Calafiori nodded the Gunners into a scarcely deserved lead in the 13th minute.
