Former Manchester United striker Louis Saha believes the best way for David de Gea to improve under Erik ten Hag is for the club to recruit a new goalkeeper this forthcoming summer and provide him with some competition.
Although he has racked up a very impressive 22 clean sheets in all competitions this season, question marks remain about De Gea's long-term suitability to the way Ten Hag wants United to play. The Spaniard's limitations with the ball at his feet were highlighted once again during last Thursday 3-0 defeat to Sevilla in the second-leg of their Europa League quarter-final.
De Gea, despite Harry Maguire asking for the ball, was guilty of playing the ball out to the centre-back when he was surrounded by Sevilla attackers, resulting in the pair of them gift-wrapping the La Liga side their opening goal. The former was then guilty of committing another mistake for Sevilla's third, attempting to control the ball with his feet outside of his penalty area and getting caught out.
