Scholes criticises De Gea after Man Utd’s Europa League final defeat

Premier League

Paul Scholes has criticised David De Gea after his poor display in Manchester United’s penalty shootout defeat to Villarreal in the Europa League final on Wednesday. The Red devils and Villarreal played out a 1-1 draw in Gdansk and after 30 minutes of extra time the match went to penalties. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Every outfield Man United player found the net with their spot kick before Villarreal keeper Geronimo Rulli put the Spanish club in front. De Gea then stepped up but his effort was saved. De Gea has not saved any penalty for United since April 2016 and was unconvincing once again during the shootout against Unai Emery's side. And Scholes believes the goalkeeper's poor record with penalties was already a potential factor even before th...

Solskjaer ‘makes choice’ on Man Utd goalkeeper for Europa League final

UEFA, Premier League

David de Gea is set to start for Manchester United ahead of Dean Henderson in their Europa League final, according to reports. Henderson and De Gea have shared goalkeeping duties this campaign – something which has reportedly frustrated both keepers at times during the season. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The Englishman has played 25 matches in all competitions this campaign, although he had only started three Premier League games before March. Henderson has started all the matches in the FA Cup, League Cup and was in goal for the first four Europa League ties, while between the start of the campaign and March, de Gea began all of the Premier League and Champions League matches apart from three games. It appeared as though Henderson had ousted de Ge...

David De Gea clashes with Solskjaer over Henderson

Premier League

Manchester United have a huge problem at their hands involving David de Gea, Dean Henderson and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, according to reports. The Norwegian manager may have revealed his long-term intentions for the number one spot by continuing to play the English goalkeeper on the return of club football. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Many felt the inclusion of Henderson in Leicester City's defeat before the international break didn’t really signal anything as it was a cup game and he typically plays in those. The feeling was that the selection vs Brighton would send a message and although the Englishman conceded a goal, he did well overall. There’s now a growing feeling at the club it is now the right time for the transition to be finally made, parti...

Man Utd set price for De Gea as Solskjaer puts faith in Henderson

Premier League

Manchester United have reportedly decided to sell David De Gea this summer transfer window and hope to raise as much as £50 million by selling the Spanish keeper. The former Atletico Madrid goalie has lost his place in the side in recent weeks after attending the birth of his child in Spain, which handed Dean Henderson the opportunity to stake his claim to become a regular in the Premier League. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Henderson has been impressive during his stint between the sticks, keeping four clean sheets in six matches during De Gea’s absence. And he has kept his spot since De Gea’s return and there’s now a sense at Old Trafford that it is time for Henderson to takeover as the club's no.1. De Gea is currently United’s top earner on £350...

Why De Gea & Anthony Martial missed Man Utd’s clash with Crystal Palace

Premier League

David De Gea has missed Manchester United’s Premier League game with Crystal Palace on Wednesday due to 'personal reasons'. The Spanish goalkeeper was a surprise omission from United’s squad but his absence means that Dean Henderson makes only his third start in the Premier League this campaign. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Anthony Martial was also missing from the Red devils team due to a knee injury the Frenchman suffered in training on Monday. But, Edinson Cavani returned to the team and spearheads United’s attack alongside Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood. ‘David [De Gea], that’s personal reasons,’ Solskjaer told MUTV before the game. ‘Anthony [Martial] got a knock in training on Monday, on his knee, so not ready for this. Hopefully read...

Solskjaer ready to sell either David de Gea or Dean Henderson this summer

Premier League

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has reportedly told Dean Henderson that David De Gea could be sold this summer window. The England international returned to the theatre of dreams last summer after a two-year loan spell at Sheffield and Henderson has made no secret of his desire to replace De Gea as first choice at the club. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Solskjaer has stuck with De Gea so far this season but while his form has improved, he’s made a couple of notable errors against Everton and Sheffield recently. Henderson has been used in the FA Cup and in the Europa League this term but the calls have increased for the young goalkeeper to be given a chance in the Premier League. While Solskjaer is happy at this moment in time to let bo...

Solskjaer warns De Gea about his position after costly blunders in Everton draw

Premier League

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has warned David de Gea that no-one’s place is safe at Manchester United after the keeper’s latest mistakes in the 3-3 draw with Everton. United were pegged back after going two goals ahead and then conceded a last-minute equaliser as they were held 3-3 by Everton. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); De Gea was criticised for pushing the ball straight to Doucoure for Everton’s first goal and then also making a poor attempt to stop Dominic Calvert-Lewin from scoring the third goal. Dean Henderson is likely to start in United’s FA Cup tie against West Ham on Tuesday night, and it will be interesting to see what happens if the club's no.2 plays well. Solskjaer was asked about David De Gea’s position and the United boss said: ‘Every player...

De Gea says he couldn’t breathe after collision with Adama Traore in United’s win over Wolves

Premier League

David de Gea came off second best after a painful collision with Adama Traore during the win over Wolves with the keeper conceding he was struggling for breath. The Spainish keeper was flattened with eight minutes remaining of the game against Wolves and required treatment after a clash with Adama Traore. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); ‘Woof! I was lying on the pitch,’ said De Gea afterwards. ‘He’s one of the strongest players in the Premier League, so it was very painful in my arm, in my stomach, but it was fine. We win the game, so everything’s fine. ‘I feel very well. It was just when I hit Traore it was painful, I can’t breathe, but it was fine.' After a poor start to the campaign, United, aided by De Gea’s return to form, have been on an impres...

Scholes slams David de Gea for ‘bottling it’ vs RB Leipzig

Premier League

Paul Scholes has accused Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea of ‘bottling it’ in the club’s 3-2 defeat to Red Bull Leipzig. The Red devils crashed out of the UEFA Champions League after a 3-2 defeat in Germany, meaning they’ll now be competing in the Europa League. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); United conceded two goals in the opening fifteen minutes of the clash to give themselves a huge mountain to climb but they recovered at half-time and improved after the break. With twenty minutes left to go, Bruno Fernandes crashed a free-kick against the bar and it looked as though the club had a path back into the game. However, barely a minute later Justin Kluivert scored an important third goal and replays showed De Gea turned his back on the player ...

David De Gea defended after yet another costly mistake for Spain

Premier League

Spain head coach Luis Enrique has defended David De Gea after he put in another disappointing display for his country in a 1-0 defeat against Ukraine in the UEFA Nations League. Viktor Tsygankov's 76th minute winner on Tuesday saw De Gea caught out of position yer again as Spain suffered their first loss since November 2018. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The visitors had dominated the match in Kiev, taking 21 shots compared to Ukraine's two, but were unable to convert their chances into a goal before being hit on the counterattack by Ukraine. The game raised more questions about Spain's lack of a reliable goalkeeper and a natural goalscorer ahead of next summer's European Championships. "You can always do more," Luis Enrique said in his postmatch n...
