Erik ten Hag has hit back at the critics of David de Gea after the Manchester United goalkeeper made a crucial save in the win over Brentford on Wednesday night.
United broke their three-game Premier League goal drought as Marcus Rashford ’s effort earned them a narrow 1-0 victory over the Bees at Old Trafford. Ten Hag needed the three points following a poor run which included the 7-0 thrashing by Liverpool, a 0-0 draw with Southampton and a 2-0 defeat by Newcastle.
Brentford came into the game in great form, but did not create many openings until late on when substitute Kevin Schade went one-on-one with De Gea. The veteran goalkeeper made the crucial save and Ten Hag was quick to praise him in his post-match media duties.
