Erik ten Hag has leapt to the defence of David de Gea after the Manchester United keeper came under fire for his performance in the FA Cup final.
De Gea has been Ten Hag's first-choice between the sticks for the entirety of the Dutchman's first season in charge at Old Trafford. But a number of mistakes have plagued his campaign, with a fresh blast coming his way on Saturday.
The Spaniard was criticised for his role in Ilkay Gundogan 's second goal, which he could only palm into the bottom corner. That strike proved to be the winner, with United losing their ninth FA Cup final, a new record in the competition.
