Manchester United coach, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has revealed his undoubted support for his goalkeeper David De Gea, and said he is putting in the work to meet the high standards he has set.
De Gea made great saves in the first half of Wednesday’s derby against Manchester City, to keep Raheem Sterling and Bernardo Silva out before finally conceeding twice on the night.
De Gea’s showings was a topic after the game but Ole was ever ready to support his number one, saying he and other players are working extra hard to improve.
His words, “I think David made some terrific saves tonight,”
“David’s got high standards he’s set himself. He’s working really hard to improve. That’s everyday work for everyone.
“When we are having a time like this, we have just got to stick together, batten the hatches down and make sure we don’t do anything rash, anything stupid and keep working and stick together as a team, because we have to come back fighting on Sunday.”
“He should make that save because it’s his style,”
“He’s top quality at that. He’s just mistimed it. He’s gone to go with the sole of his boot and it’s hit him higher up the leg. His style is to be low down. At the moment it’s not going for him. Nine times out of ten he makes that save.
“He’s a top goalkeeper,” continued Hart, now at Burnley. “I’ve never seen a keeper like him. I love watching him, he’s so brave, you can’t knock him. He could pass the ball, make a mistake and concede a goal but he would still be the same goalkeeper, making the same decisions.
“He’s a human being who cares about his football and playing for Manchester United. I’m sure he just wants to get back to the level and be their best player – saving them at every opportunity.”
