De Gea Safe from Axe at Manchester United — Solskjaer

By Daily Sports on April 27, 2019

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has said he has no intention of dropping goalkeeper David De Gea.

De Gea, yet to sign a new deal at Old Trafford, has made key mistakes in the last four games as United have lost seven of their last nine matches, but Solskjaer said he would start against Chelsea on Sunday.

Asked whether he has considered dropping De Gea, the manager said: “No, not at all, because I trust David and he’s, for me, been the best player United have had in last six or seven years, absolutely outstanding.

“Going through tough patches is part of a footballer’s career, and David will be fine.”

De Gea has not kept a clean sheet for two months, and the 2-0 home defeat to Manchester City on Wednesday saw him become the first United goalkeeper to concede 50 goals in a league season for 40 years.

The 28-year-old, Player of the Year in four of the last five seasons, is in a contract stand-off with the club, but Solskjaer said that was not a reason for a loss of form.

“That’s something you have to deal with as a footballer,” he said. “You don’t always have a contract for five or 10 years or three years. It’s a situation, David’s coming in every single day doing what he should be doing.” (ESPN)
