Talking in a meeting with The Sun, Gabino Rodriguez, who is the previous mentor of Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea, fired shots at Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s defence for the criticism received by the Spaniard.
David de Gea has for a long time ago been the undisputed No. 1 for United since the time of his move from Atletico Madrid. However, he has gotten a considerable lot of criticism this season, with Dean Henderson offering him genuine rivalry for the top goalkeeping spot.
The Spanish global got the most fire this season after the UEFA Europa League final against Villareal. He let in 11 continuous penalties in the shoot-out prior to seeing his spot-kick saved to hand United the defeat.
In any case, Rodriguez thinks that de Gea has been made to look awful by the centre-backs in front of him. He trained the goalkeeper during his coaching with Spanish U-21s.
He at that point pointed his finger at the two centre-backs and called them ‘very slow’. Harry Maguire has banded together with one of Victor Lindelof and Eric Bailly in the core of United’s defence throughout the span of this season.
Rodriguez said: “I always believe the team is a true reflection of the character of its coach. Look at the one led by Sir Alex Ferguson and that would show no mercy. But Ole’s team is softer than a muffin and David is suffering the consequences of the defensive frailties. The two centre-backs are too slow, they are not commanding and other teams are well aware of it. The big problem is Solskjaer’s tactical organisation. United’s defensive deficiencies are undervaluing De Gea and Ole just doesn’t convince me.”
The 30-year-old De Gea played in 26 Premier League games this season and would accept that he is as yet the club’s best optional goalkeeper between the sticks going into the next season.
Be that as it may, Henderson is thumping on the way to build up himself as the club’s new No. 1. The onus presently lies on de Gea to get down to business and show why he is viewed as truly outstanding in the business.
