Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has, seemingly, shut down lingering concerns over David de Gea and his capacity to play out from the back after Spain manager Luis Enrique previously sounded the alarm.
De Gea is into the final months of his contract at Old Trafford and amid speculation about his future produced a superb performance to help United overcome West Ham on Sunday afternoon. He made several fantastic saves as Marcus Rashford settled the scores at the other end.
Reports emerging from Spain suggest De Gea will be omitted from the provisional World Cup squad while Enrique has opted to call upon five other goalkeepers in his 55-man selection. It has been two years since De Gea started for his country and the manager flagged up a reason for that shortly after De Gea made a costly mistake for Spain during a Nations League defeat by Ukraine in October 2020.
