How 'desperately unlucky' Man Utd showed signs of progress
Sometimes as a pundit you can still be really positive about a team's performance even when they lose, and Manchester United's 1-0 defeat by Arsenal is a good example of conceding a silly early goal that ultimately proved decisive, United showed on Sunday that their system works and also demonstrated the difference their new signings will make to I said on Match of the Day, they were more dynamic and more direct. Physically, they looked really strong they were able to be much braver when they tried to win the ball back because they have got much more quality higher up the they still lost and did not score, but United were the better team at Old Trafford and will feel desperately unlucky they did not get anything out of the game. The same shape, so what was different? We know United boss Ruben Amorim is not going to deviate from his 3-4-2-1 formation, and they were in the same shape again was different about United this time was they were much more positive in the way they were set up, whether they were in or out of a start, their wing-backs Diogo Dalot and Patrick Dorgu were really high up the pitch, and Amad Diallo was even more attack-minded when he replaced Dalot early in the second took a risk by pressing a team as good as Arsenal like that, and in the first half they got caught on the break a few times, when the Gunners beat their press and had overloads that they did not make the most United were at home, so they should be on the front foot and what I really liked about them was how they took the game to Arsenal, in a way they rarely did against the top teams last season - even when they United occasionally looked a bit ragged but, overall, the balance of the team was right and their energy was extremely they are to progress, they have to play with this kind of positivity all the time, and trust that their front players will eventually turn the great positions they find themselves in into goals. Arsenal were not allowed to take control United's new signings who started the game played a huge part in their improved performance.I know it is only one game, but Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo looked like the players United hope they will be.I am a big fan of what Mikel Arteta has done at Arsenal and for many seasons now one of their strengths has been that, in most of the games they play, they control possession and dictate the tempo to the did not have that control at Old Trafford, however, because of United's energy, bravery and willingness to try to go after them. All of that helped Amorim's side defensively of times last season when United tried to play out from the back, they were constantly caught in possession. We hardly saw that happen on Cunha and Mbeumo, there was a more physical presence at the top of the pitch, with lots of pace and runners who wanted to get behind Arsenal's defence. Last season, United's front line was pretty non-existent. Teams were not scared of them so they would just run all over now have quality players in attack who are full of confidence, who can frighten opposition defenders. That gives them respect straight could see that against the Gunners. With United looking to get the ball forward quickly, Arsenal's defenders were worried about Cunha and Mbeumo so they sat in rather than trying to get forward to kill the game United wing-backs were always willing to get forward in support too, knowing Cunha and Mbeumo were going to keep the ball. Mason Mount had an excellent game too, which was another big it went on, you felt more and more like a United equaliser was having 22 shots, it did not quite happen for them, but it still felt like their attack is more dangerous - and when Benjamin Sesko is fully fit he will add even more firepower. Not perfect, but plenty of signs of progress Of course there are still some question marks over United - they clearly were not perfect because they may need a new central midfielder to replace Manuel Ugarte or Casemiro, because I know not everyone thinks they are the ideal fit alongside Bruno Fernandes, who might need someone more powerful to do a bit more running for are doubts over their goalkeeper situation too, which cost them again here with Altay Bayindir's mistake for Riccardo Calafiori's is frustrating to lose to a goal like that anyway, but especially because it is something that has happened to them while there was disappointment on the day, this was still a game that gives United plenty to build course you always want results, but you also want to see some progress - especially at this extremely early stage of the season - and United's display showed plenty of now progress means the team getting better and more used to the manager's system, with the players becoming comfortable in their relationships on the pitch, and the new signings bedding is also about them putting their struggles of last season behind them, and playing with some confidence and of that happened against Arsenal. Although they lost, they played like they thought they could win, and every team who plays against them now is going to be Murphy was speaking to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan.

Ian Wright names Man Utd star 'nowhere near good enough' against Arsenal
Ian Wright has blasted the performance of Altay Bayindir in the defeat to Arsenal and Manchester United's failure to resolve their issues in goal. The Gunners sealed a 1-0 victory over their old rivals at Old Trafford on Sunday with Riccardo Calafiori scoring the only goal of the game after 13 minutes. Declan Rice's excellent corner caused havoc for the United goalkeeper who found himself trapped on his line. His tame attempt to clear the ball fell straight into the path of Calafiori who headed home from close range. United perhaps deserved more from the game with Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo both superb on their competitive debuts, both denied goals by David Raya who was in excellent form in the Arsenal goal. Metro's new weekly football newsletter: In The Mixer. Exclusive analysis, FPL tips and transfer talk sent straight to your inbox every Friday – sign up, it's an open goal. Ruben Amorim's side have spent £200million rebuilding their attack this summer with Benjamin Sesko also making his debut off the bench late on. Despite that considerable outlay, problems in goal remain. Andre Onana, who was not deemed fit enough by Amorim to make the squad on Sunday, has failed to convince in his two seasons at the club with Wright believing Bayindir is 'nowhere near' the level required. For all the promise United showed in attack, the Arsenal legend insisted that good work will continue to be undermined and undone unless they solve their problem in goal. 'We have seen what happens with Andre Onana, we see it with Bayindir today and he is nowhere near it,' Wright told Premier League Productions. 'Man United with the money they have spent, they need more goals and addressed that and I think Cunha and Mbeumo were very good today but what is the point when your goalkeepers are going to be that bad. More Trending 'I don't know what is happening with [Gianluigi] Donnarumma, I don't know if he's coming here but they [United] really need to sort that goalkeeping situation out because they have lost the game on that. 'It is a hard one to take. I thought [Matthijs] de Ligt played very well, Cunha played well, Mbeumo played well, they didn't deserve to lose it like that on a keeper's poor technique. 'It's a terrible way to lose the game.'

So he chooses to get the ball - but he's getting pushed. 'It's hard to accept when you lose a game like this. 'Players are touching the goalkeeper without the idea of going for the ball. So that is not allowed. 'We have referees making meetings that they should be going for the ball, but they are not going for the ball. 'They are looking for the ball. We know what they are doing.' Fernandes said: 'When you touch a goalkeeper when he wants to jump and go for the ball, that makes it difficult for him.' 'Altay was saying the moment he goes to get the ball he gets a touch but we know in the Premier League they don't give much in this type of situation. 'That's even though they had a meeting with us saying that they will whistle more if players block and don't look at the ball.' 6 Roy Keane was scathing in his criticism of Bayindir Credit: Alamy But Keane saw the incident differently, saying: 'If you are the goalkeeper just take control of the six-yard box. 'Keepers and defenders complain all the time that people are in their face - well, get in their face! 'Be aggressive. I have said many times to my goalkeeper: 'Come with violence. Come and be aggressive, that is your area, take control of it'. Asked about his decision to leave Onana on the sidelines, Amorim said it was a fitness issue, adding: 'It's not the case of dropping Ornana. 'It was not putting him in just one week after he returned, without seeing the game, without time, with training. 'I'm happy with the three goalkeepers we have.' Fernandes added: 'They created a lot, they were in the right positions. We know they are dangerous and they are a threat. 'We are very aware of what they can give to the team.
