Kyle Walker has World Cup in his sights, Nottingham Forest remain potent in attack and James Trafford delights the Manchester City fans
It has been a constant in the last two seasons: Manchester United are doing OK in a game, resembling something approaching a football team, then out of nowhere all their good work is ruined by goalkeeping incompetence somehow predictable and unpredictable. And that was exactly what happened against Arsenal, United starting fairly well, only to concede a corner and fall behind in inexcusably soft circumstances. Usually, André Onana is the man responsible, but in his absence, Altay Bayindir seized the mantle with alacrity. We can be absolutely certain that Ruben Amorim has already told his bosses he must have a new keeper and, though they have already spent heavily, the position must be addressed as a matter of urgency because if it is not, this will continue happening and they might soon be facing questions about whether a new manager is necessary. It is pointless building a swish new house only for the owners to knowingly leave the back door open, get burgled and sack the builder. Daniel Harris
Match report: Manchester United 0-1 Arsenal
When Anthony Elanga departed for Newcastle, Forest knew they would face a difficult task replacing the speedy winger. Numerous potential targets were analysed and availability ascertained but they finally selected Dan Ndoye as the man to come in. The 24-year-old started on the right and caused problems for Rico Henry with his pace and trickery. Although Ndoye is not able to reach the same speeds as Elanga, no full-back will enjoy the prospect of facing the Swiss winger. Nuno Espírito Santo tested his speed by putting him through the middle at one point, getting him to turn the Brentford defence and offer a different proposition to Chris Wood. A superbly taken header showed that there is plenty more to Ndoye’s game than merely trying to reach the byline and send in a cross. In previous years, Brentford were seen as intelligent recruiters but they are being outshone by Forest. Will Unwin
