Man Utd to give De Gea No1 spot in goal this season as Solskjaer puts trust in Spaniard despite blunders
Sep 19, 2020
DAVID DE GEA has been told he will start the season as Manchester United's No1 - but warned his place is under threat from rookie Dean Henderson.
The Spain keeper made a series of high-profile blunders last term - including one from Spurs' Steven Bergwijn which led to a goal and a huge rebuke from United legend Roy Keane .
Red Devils boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer knows he has two very capable goalkeepers and simply will not put up with any more blunders from the former Atletico Madrid goalie.
Henderson has made a huge impression in his two seasons on loan at Sheffield United.
But he will now stay at Old Trafford this season and try and dislodge De Gea after signing a bumper five-year contract.
Solskjaer confirmed De Gea, 29, will start in their Prem opener against Crystal Palace at Old Trafford this evening.
He said: "Yeah, you keep your place in the team or you play when you play well, it doesn’t matter if you’re a keeper or a striker or full-back.
"Of course, keeper is a different position on the pitch. There are less physical demands compared to an outfield player that you will rotate more maybe.
"But you need competition, and you need to get that competition to push each other so we can get the best possible performance out of one of them.
"Hopefully the two of them will always be performing when they play."
