“David De Gea’s Blunder Costs Manchester United in Champions League Race”

A blunder of David De Gea compromised this Sunday the options’Champions‘ of Manchester United, who lost 1-0 against West Ham and, with one game less, he only has a point advantage over the Liverpoolfifth classified and again aspiring to finish among the first four.

Round day for men led by Jürgen Klopp. They won their match (1-0 at Brentford) and from London came the news they needed: a puncture from the Manchester United, that life is going to get complicated in the last games of the course.

Unfortunately for David De Geatowards his figure will point the focus of the defeat. The Spanish goalkeeper, after half an hour, made life difficult for his teammates with an unforgivable mistake for a goalkeeper of his level.

A shot away and easy to Said Benrahmalow and semi-listed to his right, stretched out with a soft hand and the ball went through his glove to the delight of a team that is fighting not to descend and the astonishment of Erik ten Hagwho from the bench grimaced at the mistake of his goalkeeper.

By Gea He lives installed in a roller coaster in which he combines three states: sober and efficient performances -most-, scandalous games -a few- and inexplicable errors that are too visible. And, at the worst moment of the course, when the Manchester United needed to score to ensure its presence in the next edition of the Champions Leaguehis worst version reappeared.

It is true that later, on the edge of the break, De Gea intervened to stop the West Ham with an exceptional save again before Benrahma. But it was late, because the damage was done while his teammates couldn’t find the necessary effectiveness to turn the score around.

The most affected was Marcus Rashfordwho in the first part found himself up to two times with the goal posts of the West Ham; and, in the second, with a couple of interventions by Lukasz Fabianskiwhich prevented greater evils for West Ham, which took the points to be seven points above the descent with nine up for grabs.

The United, except those arreones of Rashfordand a final attempt at Martial, hardly generated many more chances. He ran out of points in a gray party generalized marked by an error of David De Gea that will force the team of Erik ten Hag not to be confused in the four games that he must play: Wolves, Bournemouth, Chelsea and Fulham will be final four for the ‘Red Devils’.
