'A crime' - Manchester United coach Benni McCarthy hits out at David de Gea's critics

Manchester United first-team coach Benni McCarthy has said it would be a 'crime' for the club to lose goalkeeper David de Gea this summer.

The Spaniard, who joined United from Atletico Madrid back in 2011, is out of contract at the end of this month and is yet to put pen to paper on a fresh deal, though he is expected to extend his Old Trafford stay. United have a big decision to make in relation to the goalkeeping department this summer and could bring in a new shot-stopper during the transfer window.

De Gea, despite winning the Premier League's Golden Glove this season, racking up 17 clean sheets, has still faced plenty of criticism throughout this season, certainly in recent weeks. He was blasted by former United captain Roy Keane after Ilkay Gundogan's second goal in Saturday's FA Cup final defeat at Wembley.
