An ex-Mancunian does not at all understand the decisions made by Mikel Arteta during the transfer window.
Former Manchester United No1 Peter Schmeichel is surprised Arsenal have gone for another goalkeeper in David Raya.
“Arteta creates insecurity at the goalkeeper post”
The Dane, who won the Champions League with United in 1999, doesn’t think it makes sense to have two No.1 goalkeepers competing. He believes that by signing Raya on loan from Brentford, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is putting his other goalkeeper, the excellent Aaron Ramsdale, in trouble.
“I don’t understand at all. Schmeichel told BBC Radio 5 Live. I can’t understand how a manager can come to the conclusion that it’s a good thing to have competition for the #1 position.
“The goalkeeper position is very responsive. You can’t create anything on your own, you have to wait for things to happen. You are now asking your goalkeeper to prove that you are better than the other. It means you now have to go do things, and you don’t want that. It’s the only position on the pitch where you just want to be stable.” he added
Kasper’s father concluded by saying that Arteta shoots himself in the foot with this kind of management: “When you have a competitive situation, he also plays this game for himself and for this position, and I don’t understand. What you do is you put a lot of insecurity between them. »
