Wayne Rooney compares Aaron Ramsdale to Man United icon despite costly Arsenal error

Wayne Rooney has compared Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale to former Manchester United shotstopper Peter Schmeichel for his recent performances. The England international has been called upon in many different occasions in recent weeks, including the huge clash with Liverpool.

Ramsdale made some key saves to ensure that the Gunners came out of the game with a point, but displays since have been questioned. Jarrod Bowen's equaliser for West Ham the week after saw the 24-year-old criticised for not stopping the shot, while there were even more eyes on the Southampton tie.

The goalkeeper had the ball in safe possession in the opening seconds of the game and tried to pass the ball into midfield, however that was intercepted by Carlos Alcaraz, who then opened the scoring. The north London outfit went on to draw the game 3-3 as their grip on the title slips away.
