Man Utd told Arsenal's winning goal should not have stood after officials 'failed'
Manchester United felt aggrieved that Riccardo Calafiori's header for Arsenal was allowed to stand because goalkeeper Altay Bayindir was impeded by William Saliba Manchester United were unfortunate to lose to Arsenal because the winning goal should have been disallowed, according to Mark Clattenburg. United began their Premier League season with a 1-0 defeat by the Gunners at Old Trafford on Sunday. Arsenal 's goal came from their first corner of the game as Riccardo Calafiori headed Declan Rice 's cross over the line after Altay Bayindir failed to punch the ball clear. Bayindir felt he had been impeded by William Saliba, but the goal was allowed to stand. The goal has seen a continuation of the debate over United's goalkeepers, with Bayindir standing in for Andre Onana, who missed the game following an injury. Gary Neville felt Bayindir was at fault and needed to be stronger, but ex-Premier League referee Clattenburg had sympathy for the Turkey international. 'In real time, I did not see any problem with Arsenal's goal,' he told United In Focus. 'But when you watch it in slow motion, you can see Mason Mount was having his shirt pulled and Bayindir was being impeded while challenging for the ball. PGMOL said they would punish this type of challenge more, but again they failed.' His words echoed those of Ruben Amorim, who felt aggrieved that the goal was allowed to stand. He said: 'I understand we want goals, but when you touch the goalkeeper that way, I think it's hard. Especially to lose with a goal like this, I think it's hard. It was a strange goal. 'When you touch the goalkeeper, he needs to use his hands to catch the ball, not push players. He chooses to push players and let the ball pass. But again, it's the rules. If it's allowed, we need to do the same thing.' Arsenal have become the masters of scoring from set pieces over the past few seasons and appeared to have identified United's weakness. Saliba occupied Bayindir, who got a hand to Rice's cross, but could only divert it into the head of an unmarked Calafiori at the back post. 'The goalkeeper has got to be stronger,' Neville said on co-commentary for Sky Sports. 'I think he will complain that he was fouled. He's got a player in front of him, there's a lot of pushing and shoving going on. I just think your goalkeeper has to be stronger.' Neville has urged United to pursue Aston Villa goalkeeper Emi Martinez or Gianluigi Donnarumma, who is poised to leave Paris Saint-Germain. The ex-United defender believes the big personalities of the two keepers and their ability to cope with pressure would help his old club and Wayne Rooney agrees. Rooney said on his podcast: "Donnarumma, I think he's 26, he's one of the best goalkeepers in the world, it would be crazy if Man United don't go for him." However, Amorim insists he is "happy with the three goalkeepers" and added: "I think we prove today that we can win any game in the Premier League, especially against a great team like Arsenal and we were the better team. So I'm happy with the players."

Amorim defends Bayindir after Man United goalkeeper blunder boosts Arsenal
MANCHESTER UNITED MANAGER Ruben Amorim defended goalkeeper Altay Bayindir after his blunder proved decisive in a 1-0 home defeat by Arsenal in their Premier League opener. Bayindir flapped at a 13th-minute corner under pressure from William Saliba, allowing Riccardo Calafiori to nod in at the far post. United were otherwise the better team as new signings Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo revitalised their attack, but they could not find a way to beat David Raya despite registering 22 shots on goal. That put the focus even more sharply on Bayindir, who started in place of the injured Andre Onana. 'You're allowed to do a lot of things in the corner, we need to do the same,' Amorim said when asked if he was disappointed with the goal. 'When you touch that way the goalkeeper he needs to use his hands to catch the ball, not push players, or he chooses to push players and let the ball past. 'It is the rules, it is allowed and we need to do the same thing. No (I'm not saying he should have acted differently), I am saying you choose to push a player or to get the ball. He chose to get the ball, but he's getting pushed so he cannot defend it. 'That is my feeling when I see the play but again, we need to do the same thing.' Advertisement Last season Bayindir conceded directly from a Son Heung-min corner in a 4-3 Carabao Cup defeat at Tottenham, but Amorim rejected criticism of the Turkey international when asked if he had considered starting third-choice Tom Heaton against a team renowned for their threat from corners. 'He suffered a goal like this where? Against Tottenham? It was without VAR. With VAR it was a foul,' Amorim said. 'Then in the next game against Arsenal, who saved the penalty? Who saved the game? You don't remember the game but I remember the game and Altay was unbelievable in that game. I considered everything to put in one or another and I chose Altay… 'I am happy with the three goalkeepers.' Manchester United goalkeeper Altay Bayindir, right, tried to reach the ball before Arsenal's Riccardo Calafiori, left, scored. Alamy Alamy Despite looking much the sharper of the two teams, United could not recover from that early setback as David Raya repelled the best that Cunha and Mbeumo could throw at him, while Patrick Dorgu hit the outside of a post. 'We were the better team but in the end we lost the game,' Amorim said. 'I'm really proud of the work we put on the field and that is important moving forward.' Arsenal took the points but in a poor performance littered with poor passes and sloppy touches, the only other things to take away was their ability to win on a bad day at the office. 'We did very well to take the set-piece and then there's the mistakes, some of them unnecessary, some of them unusual, but the way every single player reacted gave us an opportunity to win the game,' Mikel Arteta said. 'That gives you momentum and confidence, two very important things. Our standards weren't there to be fair, but we can still come away and find a way to win the game. The team has to find that resilience throughout the season for 10 months.'

VIDEO: Furious Man Utd boss Ruben Amorim gives reporter death stare in response to Tom Heaton question after Altay Bayindir goalkeeping error proves very costly in defeat to Arsenal
Bayindir blunder hands Arsenal win Amorim asked about Tom Heaton Manager looked stunned by question Follow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱 WHAT HAPPENED? Amorim took exception to a reporter's question as he stared back at the journalist in disbelief. Bayindir's mishap proved costly as a spirited United were defeated 1-0 by Arsenal on Sunday, and the error provoked a question involving former Burnley stopper Heaton, whose last competitive first-team minutes came during the Red Devils' successful Carabao Cup campaign in 2022-23. WATCH THE CLIP Bayindir flapped horribly at a 13th-minute corner, only getting a couple of fingertips on the ball as it sailed through for Riccardo Calafiori to nod in from close range. It proved to be the defining moment of the game as the Red Devils huffed and puffed but found no equaliser to ensure their Premier League campaign started in defeat. WHAT AMORIM SAID Asked whether he considered playing Heaton after Bayindir conceded from a corner like he did in a Carabao Cup defeat to Tottenham last season, Amorim replied: 'Why? Without VAR [in the competition]. With VAR, it's a foul. And then what happened in the next game? Arsenal. Who saved the penalty? Who saved the game?' The 40-year-old added: 'If you watch the ball, [the opponent] is allowed to do a lot of things at the corners. We need to do the same. But when you touch that way [block], the goalkeeper needs to [be able to] use his hands to catch the ball, not push players [out of the way]. He chooses to push players and let the ball pass. But again, it's the rules. If it's allowed, we need to do the same thing.' DID YOU KNOW? Bayindir was included in the starting XI ahead of Andre Onana, who has been recovering from a hamstring injury over the summer and wasn't included in Sunday's squad. However, Amorim did not give his backing to the former Inter goalie when asked about his omission, saying it was for the sake of "balance". WHAT NEXT FOR MAN UTD? Speculation will rumble on suggesting United need to sign a new goalkeeper, with the summer transfer window set to close on September 1. Their next game is a trip to Fulham in Saturday's early evening kick-off.
