BBC chief soccer information reporter Simon Stone has been answering your questions.
David requested: With Kepa Arrizabalaga having been obtainable, ought to Manchester United have signed him? He has acquired to be a greater possibility than Andre Onana.
Simon answered: First, we can’t be sure he wished to make the transfer. Arsenal have extra to purpose for than Manchester United. Kepa may imagine he can get into Mikel Arteta’s staff forward of David Raya and, geographically, he can keep the place he’s.
As a goalkeeper, he may additionally suppose enjoying for United is setting himself up for a fall as a result of he’s uncovered too usually. It’s true Onana has made errors – however he has additionally made a number of good saves. The extra any goalkeeper has to do, the extra errors they make.
I settle for doubts persist over Onana however, a bit like David de Gea – who was additionally closely criticised ultimately – my perception is there are extra basic points to deal with.
If United had a defence that was safe in possession and a midfield that might display screen, then we might know the way good the goalkeeper was. Simply now, we do not.
Luke requested: Is it wanting ominous for Manchester United? A lot speak about giving Ruben Amorim a summer season switch window, but now we have managed to signal one first-team participant to this point and haven’t been in a position to promote our undesirable contracted gamers. In the meantime, most different groups have strengthened their squads. Uh oh.
Simon answered: You may have a look at this case in two methods. You’re clearly right – it is just one signing and clearly the 5 undesirable gamers stay. That isn’t best.
Nevertheless, the way in which the 5 have been handled suggests Amorim is being allowed to make the choices he chooses, which is clearly a optimistic – and the fact is not any supervisor will get all of the gamers they need as shortly as they need them.
United wish to strengthen however they should steadiness the books. At this stage, it’s a query of belief. Admittedly, that’s in brief provide relating to United and their switch dealings in latest summers.
