‘We want De Gea to stay’

‘Evil company corrupts good habits’, says the Bible and in a more mild way, this sentence could refer to Manchester United’s goalkeeper David De Gea. The Spaniard has been a loyal servant to the Red Devils for 12 years now, but since 2019, he was teamed up with Harry Maguire, the king of all blunders and in years, he seems to have taken the worst out of him. In a middle of a Champions League fight, and with Liverpool ‘breathing’ down United’s neck in a fifth spot, De Gea made a costly blunder in the 27th minute when Said Benrahma’s weak shot from 20 yards slipped over his glove. This is another of his bad mistakes in the last month or so, even without Maguire in the starting line-up.De Gea dan blunder lainnya. pic.twitter.com/lsJ2BmajMz— United Ask (@UnitedAsk) May 7, 2023 Fair enough, his teammates failed to score against below average West Ham in the next hour, as the 1-0 score stood until the final whistle, and the difference between great rivals is now only one point. From third place and only three points behind rivals City to the possible fifth spot and another year without the Champions league, this season could end in disaster. But coach Erik ten Hag refused to criticize his keeper, at least in public.„We want him to stay and we want him to extend his contract. He has the most clean sheets in the Premier League. We would not be here in this position without him. I believe there are no concerns. It happens. As a team, you have to deal with it, show character, be resilient, bounce back and that’s what this team will do. We started well, we dictated the game, we created chances, we didn’t take them, and then one mistake. In three days, twice individual mistakes makes us lose games“ said Ten Hag after another defeat.Definitely deplorable De Gea!Unlike the Dutch coach, TV pundits and fans didn’t mince words.„No you can’t justify the mistake. It’s a bad mistake, I think he’ll take full responsibility. His left foot does slip slightly but that’s no excuse. He’s got full contact on the ball, a whole hand on the ball, it’s not like he’s stretching and getting finger tips, he got a whole hand. He misses it completely and it’s a big, big mistake“ said former United defender Rio Ferdinand.Man Utd bottling Champions League spot pic.twitter.com/f8gUWoy9w5— Troll Football (@TrollFootball) May 7, 2023 Fans are also very annoyed as they forgot all the games in which he was the best player and saved his team from a defeat. Many United’s supporters went to social media to vent their anger, and demanded that De Gea leaves the club, that his time is up and that Ten Hag will be the only guilty party if he allows the Spaniard to remain at the club at the start of the next season.PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 35SaturdayWolverhampton – Aston Villa 1-0 (1-0)/Toti 9/Bournemouth – Chelsea 1-3 (1-1)/Vina 21 – Gallagher 9 – Badiashile 82/Tottenham – Crystal Palace 1-0 (1-0)/Kane 45+1/Manchester City – Leeds United 2-1 (2-0)/Gundogan 19, 27 – Rodrigo 85/Liverpool – Brentford 1-0 (1-0)/Salah 13/SundayNewcastle – Arsenal 0-2 (0-1)/Odegaard 14, Schar og 71/West Ham – Man Utd 1-0 (0-0)/Benrahma 27/Monday17.00: (2.70) Fulham (3.35) Leicester (2.68)19.30: (1.40) Brighton (5.20) Everton (10.0)22.00: (2.19) Nott.Forest (3.35) Southampton (3.45)***odds are subject to change***
