Neville’s Raya Revelation…
Gary Neville’s eyebrow-raising suggestion for Manchester United to sign David Raya was brushed off like someone ignoring a fire alarm in a popcorn factory. Despite his praise of Raya’s shot-stopping and bravery, United snubbed the Spanish goalkeeper for “not being good enough with his feet,” which is a bit like rejecting a clown for not being serious enough. As a result, Man United are left juggling goalkeepers like a circus act, hoping Senne Lammens will end their comedic crisis.
Meanwhile, Arsenal snatched Raya like a bargain in a Black Friday sale. He arrived when Aaron Ramsdale seemed to be warming his gloves just fine. Yet, Arteta’s gamble paid off, with Raya proving his distribution skills weren’t just adequate—they were next-level. That being said, Raya had a moment of “oops” after being foiled by Liverpool’s Dominik Szoboszlai’s 35-yard free-kick blast, leaving Gary Neville to cheekily quip about Arsenal’s recurring post-defeat blues. It’s a reminder that even when well-intentioned, advice sometimes lands flatter than a failed soufflé in football’s kitchen.
