Rooney: ‘I thought David de Gea wasn’t good enough to play for Man Utd’

Derby forward Wayne Rooney has revealed which Manchester United player he got badly wrong after his arrival in 2011. The Red devils' record goalscorer Rooney had been at the club for seven years when David de Gea was signed by Sir Alex Ferguson for around £17m from Spanish side Atletico Madrid. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The Spaniard had a lightweight frame and he was heavily criticised at the start of his United career for making too many mistakes and not dominating his area like his predecessors such as Van der Sar and Peter Schmeichel. And in Soccer Box chat with Gary Neville from December 2019, on Sky Sports, Rooney conceded De Gea “struggled” and he thought the keeper was out of his depth at Carrington.

Premier League

David de Gea did not hold back in a scathing assessment of Manchester United’s poor performance in their 1-0 loss to Newcastle on Sunday, saying he has not experienced a worse time at the club.

Solskjaer orders De Gea to do extra training sessions to change style

Premier League

Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea has been asked to do extra training sessions to improve his ability with the ball at his feet as manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer looks to overhaul the team’s style of play. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Although the Spaniard arrived in the Premier League with a reputation for being good with his feet, he had little chance to utilise those skills, particularly under former head coach Jose Mourinho.

De Gea apologises to team-mates after embarrassing howler in Barca defeat

Premier League, La Liga, UEFA

David De Gea apologised to his Manchester United team-mates after his Nou Camp mistake sealed their Champions League exit.
