Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea has admitted that the whole team has faith in club boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his plans for the future.
After a rather poor start to the new Premier League campaign, the Red Devils returned to winning ways on Saturday with a slender 1-0 victory over Leicester City at Old Trafford. Things finally seem to be looking upwards as David De Gea also signed a new deal at United which will keep him at the club until June 2023 on Monday.
But there is no doubt that Solskjaer has come under the radar over the recent past as the 46-year-old has guided the club to only four wins in the past 17 games. There were also some suggestions some in the United camp that the players are unhappy with Solskjaer but De Gea has dismissed those rumors claiming that he is the right man for the job.
The 28-year-old Spaniard said, “From the moment he arrived here, he showed his faith in me, right from minute one. I think he had a massive impact with the team. Everyone has faith in him, that’s the most important thing. The fans are behind him and he’s a manager who knows the club really well and the people who work here and I reckon that is essential. He also shows a lot of confidence in the younger players, which is important for us, and so he’s a really great manager.”
Although United have won just two of their opening five Premier League matches, they do look a bit more solid at the back following the arrivals of Harry Maguire and Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
