Ian Wright sums up why Man Utd must replace David de Gea after latest howler

Manchester United need to sign a world-class goalkeeper in the summer transfer window because David de Gea lacks concentration in key moments, according to Ian Wright.

De Gea is in the spotlight at United after making a dreadful blunder to hand West Ham victory at the weekend. The goalkeeper somehow conspired to allow Said Benrahma’s weak effort from distance through his grasp in a damaging 1-0 defeat which has opened the door for Liverpool in the race for the top four.

The 32-year-old is out of contract with United in the summer, but is in talks over an extension, albeit with a reduction to his current £375,000-a-week deal. De Gea has made 540 appearances for United since joining from Atletico Madrid in 2011, but former Arsenal striker Wright thinks now might be the time for the club to move on.
