Erik ten Hag refused to blame David De Gea after the goalkeeper’s mistake handed West Ham a crucial victory in their battle to stay up and dented Manchester United’s hopes of Champions League qualification.
De Gea, who has made several costly errors this season, was badly at fault when Saïd Benrahma scored the only goal of the game at the London Stadium. But Ten Hag was reluctant to single the Spaniard out after United, who are in danger of losing fourth place to Liverpool, slipped to a second consecutive away defeat.
