Those criticising De Gea are 'idiots' - Ferguson

[Folami David]

Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson has rounded on critics of under-fire goalkeeper David de Gea, who include former United right-back Gary Neville, by calling them 'idiots'.
.
De Gea came in for criticism after his week punch led to Tottenham Hotspur's injury-time equaliser in United's 1-1 draw at White Hart Lane last weekend.
.
Neville, now an analyst for Sky Sports, said De Gea's teammates would have been 'furious' with him, while former Liverpool defender Alan Hansen was also critical of the Spaniard.
.
Ferguson, however, believes the criticism is thoroughly unfair.
.
'' It has been over the top. It is always over the top when it comes to criticism here '' he said.
.
'' You have to listen to some idiots in the game. I am not interested in discussing the criticism because we know it is unfounded ''.
