Erik ten Hag has emphasised how David de Gea has the most clean sheets in the Premier League after the goalkeeper’s clanger against West Ham.
The Spaniard has endured another error-strewn campaign with his latest mistake proving costly as his meek attempt at saving Said Benrahma’s hopeful long-range effort. De Gea lost his footing and despite getting a hand to the ball, allowed it to trickle over the line.
That high-profile error proved decisive in United’s 1-0 defeat at West Ham, a result which strikes a huge blow to United's hopes of a top-four finish. De Gea’s performance was nervy with multiple misplaced passes out from the back and uncertain goalkeeping from corners.
