The Spanish goalkeeper was under criticism before Manchester United’s 3-3 draw at Stamford Bridge, a result that was earned due to fine goalkeeping heroics by the young shot stopper who has now cemented himself as the number
one goalkeeper at Old Trafford...
When Manchester Untied dished out big money to sign http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson’s transfer window wisdom and his acumen when it comes to replacing Edwin Van der Sar.
After all such a situation had developed before when Ferguson had waited too long and tried too many wrong options when Manchester United were looking to replace Peter Schmeichel in 2000s but it seems that the Scotsman has struck
gold on his first try this time.
Edwin Van der Sar’s retirement last season paved the way for De Gea’s arrival at Old Trafford and at such a young age, the Spanish goalkeeper has already won over his critics at Old Trafford. At the start of the season, De Gea’s
errors were seen all too often and it was thought that the former Atletico Madrid goalkeeper was not suited to English football. However his save from Juan Mata’s free kick at Stamford Bridge changed all that.
De Gea said, "When you look back over a season there are lots of defining moments and key goals. But, I suppose, from a team point of view, and particularly from a personal point of view, the fact the save was right in the last
minute was decisive. It gave me a huge confidence boost as well and that was important.”
He added, "Now we are in front and we have to try and stay there because it would be a dream come true to win the league in my first season. It is always a positive when the fans are behind you. It is something I can sense when
I am on the field and makes me feel more relaxed. It is a source of extra motivation when you know the fans are right behind you and rooting for you.”
