Rio Ferdinand poses David de Gea Manchester United question that only Erik ten Hag can answer

David De Gea's error in Manchester United's defeat to West Ham United on Sunday has raised fresh concerns over his future at the club.

The Spaniard allowed Said Benrahma's tame effort from distance to slip through his defences and into the net at the London Stadium for what proved to be the only goal of the game. It was the fourth error the 32-year-old has made this season which has directly led to a goal.

Yet De Gea has kept more clean sheets than any other keeper in the Premier League this term and is in conversations over a new contract with his current deal up in the summer. Erik ten Hag has kept faith in the former Atletico Madrid youngster this season but former Manchester United star Rio Ferdinand believes the manager must now make a call on whether De Gea is the man to help take the club forward.
