LAGOS, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA) – David De Gea will stay on at Manchester United past the current season, but he won’t be guaranteed a spot in the starting lineup.
In Manchester United’s 1-0 loss to West Ham on Sunday, De Gea made yet another glaring error that allowed Said Benrahma’s feeble long-range attempt to find the back of the net.
With Liverpool receiving significant encouragement in the battle for the top four, it was the latest in a string of costly errors by the stopper.
Despite his recent gaffes, De Gea is still anticipated to continue on once his contract expires in the summer, according to ESPN.
De Gea made mistakes in crucial matches against West Ham and Sevilla recently, and manager Erik ten Hag may be tempted to sign a new goalkeeper in the summer.
David Raya, Brentford goalkeeper, has already acknowledged his desire to play in Europe and compete for championships. Manchester United has been linked with a transfer for the goalie.
The acquisition of a new striker is, however, Ten Hag’s first objective this summer, also Manchester United must decide what to do about Dean Henderson.
The goalkeeper, who is returning from a loan stint at Nottingham Forest, has previously been very critical of the team after growing disillusioned with the limited possibilities available at Old Trafford.
De Gea and Hugo Lloris have each made four mistakes that have resulted in goals this season across all competitions, which is a league-high number.
The following Premier League match between Manchester United and Wolves will take place at Old Trafford on Saturday.
