How to measure the gulf between the Manchester clubs? The FA Cup final provided another gauge: City's second-choice goalkeeper is more competent than United's No.1.
Goodness knows when United will decide to announce De Gea's inevitable contract renewal. There is not a good time now. Not when he has contributed to a City double and probable treble.
De Gea conceded identically for the second month running, palming Ilkay Gundogan's trickling volley into the corner of the net. He had done similarly at the opposite end of the Jubilee Line against Said Benrahma.
