Ruben's men still keeping bad company

THEY spent £200million on the attack but if Jim Ratcliffe and Co don't find another lump of cash to buy a keeper then there will be no improvement in results.

Manchester United's performance here was better and might give head coach Ruben Amorim hope that they won't be as terrible as they were last season.

It has been a while since United were dominant against one of the Premier League big boys. But, for all their good play, they didn't score. New boys Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko - who was brought on for his debut in the second half - all drew a blank.

That will happen against the best teams and especially one as defensively resolute as Arsenal. But what is unforgivable is gifting goals to the opposition, and keeper Altay Bayindir did just that.
