David Raya Acknowledges Manchester Unitedās Surprise Attacking Threat
Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya has faced world-class attackers throughout his career, but after a tense encounter with Manchester United, he admitted that one player, in particular, left a lasting impression. Surprisingly, it wasnāt Bruno Fernandes or new signing Joshua Zirkzeeāit was someone entirely unexpected.
Following Arsenalās dramatic showdown with United, Raya reflected on the match, admitting that while he made an error by conceding a “silly” free kick to Fernandes, the biggest challenge he encountered came from another Red Devils star.
Raya: āI Have Never Faced Such Relentless Aggression Beforeā
Speaking after the match, Raya didnāt hold back in expressing his surprise at the intensity of his opponentās performance:
“To be honest, I have never faced a player this aggressive before. He managed to get six shots on target, and given the strength of our defense, that was really unexpected.”
Although he refrained from naming the player outright, sources from the Arsenal dressing room suggest it wasnāt Fernandes or Zirkzee who troubled Raya the most. Instead, another United starās relentless attacking play left even Arsenalās defensive leader, William Saliba, impressed.
Saliba Also Takes Notice!

Others argued that Alejandro Garnachoās tireless pressing and fearless dribbling made him the prime candidate for Rayaās praise.
