David De Gea’s form a worry

Manchester United have been chasing David De Gea’s signatures for a while now. The Spanish shot stopper has been United’s number one goalkeeper for a long time now. United are hoping to keep him on another long-term contract. Salary has been the major stumbling block in the negotiations. However, with performances like this, United have to ask themselves if the keeper is worth all the trouble.

There is no doubt that De Gea is second to none on his day. However, his days have now come few and far apart. De Gea was terribly out of form last season and it doesn’t look like he’s regained it this season. David will have to pull his socks. As the captain and one of the most experienced players in the side, De Gea simply cannot afford to make as many blunders as he currently does.

You are either with the side or you’re not. De Gea needs to make his mind. Sign the papers and focus on what is happening on the field. You can buy an entire backline consisting of the most expensive players but it will mean nothing if your keeper lets in sitters.
