Manchester United players have praised David de Gea after he was confirmed as the Premier League Golden Glove winner.
'I would have saved that!' - Former England ace mocks David de Gea after Manchester United error
08.05.2023 - 19:05 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Former Tottenham Hotspur and England striker Jermain Defoe has joked that he "would have saved" Said Benrahma's winner during West Ham United's 1-0 victory over Manchester United at the London Stadium on Sunday evening.
The former Brentford star netted the only goal of the game after 27 minutes, aided by a howler from United goalkeeper David de Gea. The Spaniard failed to keep out the Algerian's low effort, allowing the ball to squirm through his hands and trickle into the net.
It marked his fourth error leading to a goal in all competitions this season, once again resulting in questions being asked about his suitability to Erik ten Hag's long-term vision at Old Trafford. The Spaniard has been under the microscope ever since United's 3-0 defeat to Sevilla in Spain last month, an evening which saw him make two costly mistakes, both with his feet.

This time, however, it was his shot-stopping credentials that are usually so reliable that attracted criticism. And former Hammers ace Defoe admitted that even he would have been confident of keeping Benrahma's effort out of the net, such was the lack of power on the shot.
"I know I have upset a lot of goalkeepers over the years but I am about to do it again, Defoe told BBC Sport. "For someone that has played 540 games, you would like to think there would be fewer mistakes from one of your senior players.
"He got the West Ham crowd up, the players up, and every time I watch it it gets worse, to be honest. West Ham counter-attack and there is no danger, to be honest.
"If you look there, there are three or four vs one and, I mean, what can I say about that? It's like a pass and I cannot understand why he dives like
