Ruben Amorim disagrees with Gary Neville over Manchester United's transfer priority to solve 'glaring issue' | OneFootball

The Sky Sports analyst believes there is a “glaring issue” at his former club

Ruben Amorim and Gary Neville do not see eye-to-eye on what Manchester United’s next transfer priority should be.

Man Utd, despite a lowly 15th-placed Premier League finish and Europa League final defeat last season, have spent heavily in the summer transfer window thus far.

All the investment has gone on the attack with over £200million spent on Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbuemo and Benjamin Sesko.

Speaking on the Gary Neville Podcast, he said: "There's a glaring issue that Man Utd cannot ignore and it is the fact they need to find a goalkeeper.

"They have to. I'm unequivocal on that because I had an experience with Man Utd for 20 years where there were two big periods of seven or eight years with Peter Schmeichel and Edwin van der Sar.

"In between, we had seven or eight goalkeepers in a six, seven, eight-year period and it is really unsettling when you haven't got a dominant No 1, who is dominant in the air, who owns his six-yard box, comes and punches everything and makes a lot of saves to win you points when your defenders make mistakes.

"I don't know where they are on PSR, but they might have to magic up a bit more money in the next week or two, or do something on loan.

"The two that have been mentioned in the last two weeks have been Emi Martinez and [Gianluigi] Donnarumma.

"The reason I think they would be good goalkeepers for Man Utd is not necessarily because they are the best goalkeepers in Europe, but they are big personalities and characters.

"You've seen Donnarumma in a European final save those penalties for Italy. He looked like a giant. He's played for PSG in huge games under pressure. Martinez has played in the World Cup final and won it for Argentina.

"They have played under extreme pressure and they almost walk out with that arrogance and dominance of a goalkeeper - Man Utd need that.

"There are a number of things Man Utd need this season and Amorim is getting to that point now where he thinks he's got a team that could do something.

"However, they need to sort the goalkeeper because they concede goals and lose points, and it continually undermines what you are doing.

"When the goalkeeper is flapping at the ball, those 72,000 home fans are groaning and that sends a shiver through the spines of defenders. It also sends a shiver through the goalkeeper and creates an anxiety around the stadium.

"You've got to have personality, stability and character in that position, and Man Utd are going to have to deal with it in the next couple of weeks."

That said, Amorim doesn’t share Neville’s view on the goalkeepers at his disposal having jumped to Bayindir’s defence as well placing his faith in Andre Onana and Tom Heaton.

"I’m happy with the three goalkeepers,” the Man United head coach said in his post-match press conference.
