There is controversy over David de Gea’s future after his latest mistake in the defeat to West Ham. The fans wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible, but coach Erik ten Hag thought otherwise.
In the match between West Ham vs MU, De Gea was the culprit leading to the only goal of this duel. In the 27th minute, Benrahma launched a shot that was not too strong and not difficult, but De Gea still conceded an unbelievable goal.
Accordingly, the goalkeeper seemed surprised when the West Ham player finished again. He reacted quite slowly and seemed to have slipped so he could not save the ball. The ball slowly rolled into the net in the surprise of all.
This is not the first time this season De Gea has made a mistake that cost MU. It was he who made two mistakes in the second leg of the Europa League quarter-finals, causing MU to lose to Sevilla.
De Gea is preparing to sign a new contract with the Red Devils but with this mistake, many fans have demanded that the club terminate with him immediately.
One supporter wrote: “De Gea, I swear to God, I will tear your contract with my own hands.” Another claimed: “If Ten Hag signs a new contract with De Gea, I will rebel.”
“De Gea makes a mistake, shakes his head, drinks some water from his bottle, throws it away, repeats the same mistakes in every game and gets a new contract,” said a third.
Another said bluntly: “David De Gea is done. So break up now!”. “I can’t go through another season watching De Gea in the frame,” said another.
However, coach Ten Hag still defended De Gea. When asked about the Spaniard’s future, he said: “We want him to stay and extend his contract. Mistakes are part of football. During the season, he kept the most clean sheets.”
