Manchester United icons Gary Neville and Wayne Rooney have not minced their words after the team's defeat against Arsenal, highlighting the necessity for the club to bolster their goalkeeping department.
The Red Devils suffered a 1-0 loss to Arsenal, with goalkeeper Altay Bayindir's error leading to the Gunners' only goal. This blunder did not go unnoticed by Neville and Rooney, who both emphasized the importance of addressing the goalkeeping situation before the transfer window closes.
Pointing out the inconsistency in United's goalkeeping options since the days of legends like Peter Schmeichel and Edwin van der Sar, Neville stressed the need for a reliable shot-stopper in the squad.
Emphasizing the significance of a strong presence in the six-yard box, Neville mentioned Emiliano Martinez from Aston Villa and Gianluigi Donnarumma from Paris Saint-Germain as potential candidates to bring stability to United's defense.
While Martinez has been linked with a move to Old Trafford earlier this summer, Donnarumma, who has been frozen out at PSG, is reportedly keen on a switch to the Premier League.
Neville, speaking on his Sky Sports podcast, expressed his concerns, stating, "There's a glaring issue for Manchester United that can't be ignored. They need to find a goalkeeper. They have to."
With just weeks remaining in the transfer window, the pressure is on Manchester United to secure a dependable goalkeeper to address the defensive lapses that have been highlighted by the club's former stars.
