“What De Gea does is criminal for someone with experience”

Manchester United fell with a crash in Europe. After a more than decent group stage and with many options to enter the playoffs, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men were absolutely outmatched by a RB Leizpig who stole their place in the round of 16. The Red Devils will go to the Europa League.

United began to raise their heads at the end but, they did not overcome the initial blow. In the 12th they already lost 2-0 with two centers to the far post finished off in an unappealable way by Angeliño and Amadou Haidara. The third goal was the work of Justin Kluivert and he has once again put David De Gea in the focus of criticism. The Spanish was not able to cover the Dutch striker, he finished off successfully. Now a former United, Paul Scholes, harshly criticizes this action.

“De Gea makes himself small here. He is afraid of hurting himself. That center should not go through the area as it happened. As a goalkeeper, you have to go out and make yourself as big as you can. You may be hit or injured but he decides to turn his back. Now he's getting small, which is criminal for a goalkeeper with as much experience as him “, assured the one that was midfielder of the Red Devils.

Another of Scholes' targets was Harry Maguire. The captain, the most expensive center-back in football history, was branded by Scholes as a “wooden” and “too rigid” defender. In addition, he criticized his statements after the defeat in Germany. “Maguire's interview is troubling. He said they weren't ready for the first 20 minutes. How can you not be prepared for such a big and tough game when you come to Germany? They should never have been first in the group but, they were, and they weren't ready for the first 20 minutes … “, the now BT Sports commentator harshly sentenced.

David De Gea continues being, one more year, the holder in a Manchester United that does not finish raising his head. The Spanish has played fourteen games in which he has conceded 24 goals and has left his clean sheet three times.
