Andre Onana and David Raya have come under fire for their noticeable blunders during their debut season at Manchester United and Arsenal respectively.
United made a substantial investment in Onana, acquiring the Cameroonian talent from Inter to replace David De Gea, while Mikel Arteta favoured Raya over England’s Aaron Ramsdale as his primary goalkeeper.
Former Liverpool player Carragher expressed his criticism on the Stick to Football podcast, labelling the duo as the most disappointing summer signings in the Premier League this season.
He remarked, “The biggest disappointments in the Premier League so far this season would be the two goalkeepers at Manchester United and Arsenal. They’ve been quite poor after coming in as ‘improvements’ from the previous keepers, and it’s almost stayed the same or even gone backwards with them coming in.”
Onana’s errors have significantly impacted United’s hopes in the Champions League, with his mistakes being pinpointed as the main cause for their underwhelming performances in Europe. This was notably evident in their recent 3-3 draw against Galatasaray, where they relinquished a 3-1 lead.
Meanwhile, Raya has been involved in several prominent blunders in the Premier League. Luton manager Rob Edwards even admitted that his team targeted the goalkeeper in a bid to exploit his vulnerabilities, although Arsenal narrowly secured a 3-2 victory against them earlier in the week.
Despite their struggles, both Erik ten Hag at United and Mikel Arteta at Arsenal are anticipated to support their goalkeepers. Onana is slated to start in the XI for United’s upcoming match against Bournemouth, while Raya is expected to feature when Arsenal takes on Aston Villa the following day.
