Jose Mourinho appears to have been vindicated after claiming David de Gea was "lucky" to earn a lucrative new Manchester United contract in 2019.
De Gea put pen to paper on a four-year deal worth an eye-watering £375,000 per week, making him the highest-paid goalkeeper in the world. The Spaniard has been on United's books for over a decade and is one of the leaders in the dressing room, but his form has been hugely inconsistent in recent seasons.
While there have been some masterful shot-stopping displays which have delighted the Old Trafford faithful, there have also been some howlers which the 31-year-old would rather forget. The most recent of these came in Saturday evening's humbling defeat by Brentford, when De Gea was at fault for the first and arguably the second of the Bees' goals.
