Manchester United's Goalkeeper Crisis: Are They the Worst in the Premier League?
Explore Manchester United's goalkeeper struggles, Viktor Gyökeres' debut, and the transfer saga around Alexander Isak in this in-depth analysis.

In the latest episode of The Football Reporters podcast, James Olley, Mark Ogden, and Rob Dawson delve into Manchester United's ongoing goalkeeper dilemma. The discussion centers around Ruben Amorim's decision to start Altay Bayindir in goal for their Premier League opener against Arsenal, a move that backfired spectacularly. Bayindir's critical error allowed Riccardo Calafiori to score from a Declan Rice corner, sealing a 1-0 defeat for United.
Meanwhile, André Onana, who was sidelined for much of the preseason due to injury but was available for the match, was surprisingly left out of the lineup. This raises questions about the depth and quality of United's goalkeeper roster. Are they truly the worst in the Premier League?
The podcast also examines Viktor Gyökeres' lackluster debut for Arsenal, where he failed to register a single shot in a 1-0 victory at Old Trafford. Additionally, the hosts speculate on whether Newcastle United will be compelled to lower their asking price for Alexander Isak amidst ongoing transfer negotiations.
