David de Gea is set to miss this winter’s World Cup with the Manchester United goalkeeper relegated to SIXTH choice.
De Gea has won 45 caps for Spain, having made his debut back in 2014. But he has now been in the international wilderness for two years, having been continually snubbed by boss Luis Enrique.
The United stopper was named the club’s Players’ Player of the Season in 2021/22, in recognition for his heroic performances in an otherwise miserable season. But that has done little to sway Enrique who has made it clear he values keepers’ ability on the ball as much as more traditional qualities.
