Man United may have got way with it this time but there is a serious problem at the heart of their defence
For the final 15 minutes including stoppage time, Manchester United had a glimpse at what was a concerning future scenario for the club.
Evans has been brought in as fifth choice at best and his role will be largely confined to the dressing room if luck is on United's side, rather than on the pitch. Meanwhile, Maguire is firmly out of favour with Erik ten Hag and if not for the former captain pulling the plug on a deal, he would not have been an option at the Emirates Stadium.
Of course, the boss was not to know the extent of the injuries which were going to impact his squad so early on. However, Raphael Varane has had a history of injury problems since arriving in Manchester so extra cover would have made sense.
