David De Gea, Manchester United’s first choice goalkeeper after the retirement of Edwin Van der Sar has come out and praised the atmosphere at Old Trafford, United’s home stadium. De Gea was the star of the show as Manchester United
romped up an 8-2 win over Arsenal on Sunday afternoon. It was a spectacular display of authority by the defending champions who took no prisoners at the Theatre of Dreams. Ashley Young scored two and assisted three goals along with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736 who scored
a hatrick in the encounter.
Park Ji Sung and Luis http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Bacary-Sagna-c7148 and Jack Wilshere’s
absence. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-de-Gea-c10463 conceded two goals on the night but some of his saves were outstanding to say the least. The Spanish shot stopper kept Manchester United on top of the Gunners at a vital moment in the first half when Arsene Wenger’s team were awarded
a penalty kick due to Johnny Evans’ tug on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Theo-Walcott-c34873 inside the home team’s penalty area.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380 stepped up to take the spot kick but De Gea dove down to his right and palmed the ball away to safety. Throughout the match, De Gea looked confident in his position in between the goal sticks; the young goalie
was supported by the crowd as well who sung his name throughout the match in order to keep him in high spirits. Before the match against Arsenal, De Gea kept a clean sheet against Tottenham Hotspur as well as he made his home debut in the English Premier League
against Harry Redknapp’s men.
Speaking after the match against Arsenal, De Gea praised the home support as well as the overall ambience at Old Trafford. The former Atletico Madrid goalkeeper said, “Old Trafford is wonderful, very big, and the best thing is
when it is packed and the crowd is cheering. Our fans are truly unbelievable. They sing the whole time and cheer for the team, and for us that is very important.”
He added, “My debut was an unforgettable moment and I enjoyed everything about it – the atmosphere, the stadium and the game, as well as keeping a clean sheet, which is important for the team. And I’m very happy that we made it
two wins from two against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429. Now we’re aiming to continue along the same lines.”
Manchester United play their next home match against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 on September 18th 2011 but before that they face a tricky away fixture against Bolton Wanderers at the Reebok Stadium which is scheduled to take place after
