Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea has said the club’s players are “very together” despite their drop in form.
United have not won since Nov. 21, with the side failing to reach the knockout phase of the Champions League and on Saturday losing 2-1 at Bournemouth.
Sources have told ESPN FC that the club are increasingly concerned about disenchantment with Louis van Gaal’s managerial approach among the players and will discuss the situation just before the January transfer window.
But De Gea told Inside United: “There’s a great atmosphere. The dressing room is very together and united, they are a great set of lads and we’re all very happy with the group of players that we have and I think that’s really important in a team if it wants to achieve big things.”
Despite their recently disappointing results, United are fourth in the table and six points behind Leicester ahead of their match against Norwich at Old Trafford this weekend.
“I think that the Premier League is very competitive and there are a lot of strong teams, fighting hard to climb the table and fighting to win the league,” De Gea added.
“It’s a real battle, this league is very tough to win and there will be a number of teams who will be in the shake-up for the title, like every year, and let’s just hope that we are right up there and in the hunt for that title at the end of the season as that would be very important.”
