One umpire. I think it's doubtful the other three would or could have anything to give the PU in this case. And it's not like this is really easy for the PU to see.

So he missed it. It happens. Big deal.

As an Ms fan I can tell you a missed call will not be the reason they will be fighting to stay out of the cellar this year yet again.
