English Premier League champions, Manchester United, are set to start the highly-rated David de Gea in the goal against Major League Soccer outfit, Chicago Fire, on Saturday, July 23 at Soldier Field.
The youngster became a United player less than a month ago in hopes of taking the reins from Dutch legend, Edwin Van Der Sar, who drew curtains on an illustrious career at the end of 2010/11 season. However, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Anders-Lindegaard-c5553 is giving the former Atletico
Madrid custodian stiff competition.
The Danish international earned a clean sheet in the ruthless 7-0 win over http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ben-Amos-c7439, who rendered goalkeeping services in the second half.
De Gea will now be given the chance to prove his work, as confirmed by Sir Alex Ferguson.
“He will start on Saturday,” Ferguson said. "He’s had a few days training, and he’s done fine."
Despite his tender age, the player sported Atletico Madrid’s jersey 57 times in La Liga. The custodian had the honours of starting every single match he was called in.
In addition, De Gea also played for the Spanish club on the UEFA Europa League front. The player provided cover to the net in the final match against the premier league outfit Fulham FC. Los Rojiblancos emerged victorious and took home the trophy.
Owing to his young age, De Gea is being touted as the future goalkeeper of Manchester United.
“Being young and coming into the English game … he may need time,” Ferguson said. “On the other hand, he may be like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 and just take it by storm. Cech came in at 19 and coming into a Chelsea team, and he’s never been out of it.”
Speaking of his astounding abilities in front of the frame, the head tactician said, “De Gea has the same qualities, He’s got terrific composure for a young man. He’s quick and his use of the ball is excellent. Hopefully that shows itself when we get to
the season.”
While the Fire are far from being in ideal form, the 20-year-old is still expected to impress whenever called upon for his services, much like he did for Los http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Indios-c39565 until recently.
