Manchester United manager Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson had some choice words for the Spaniard, who single handedly kept his side in the game at Ewood Park.
Only the mention of his name could have raised an exasperated look on many United fans just a few months ago, such was the condition of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-de-Gea-c10463, a man which they now call a hero.
The Spanish shot-stopper arrived at Old Trafford burgeoning with raw talent, yet pressurized with expectations of living to his billing as Edwin Van Der Sar’s replacement as well his £17 million price tag.
De Gea failed to meet the high standards set by Ferguson at the club initially and it culminated with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Anders-Lindegaard-c5553 being preferred by the Scot in the Premier League.
However a series of events, led to Lindegaard being injured and in his absence De Gea has truly stepped up to the plate.
His performances have been continually rising since that late athletic save against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 and he was at peak last night, when a struggling Blackburn Rovers’ failed to get the better of him despite their numerous efforts.
The former Atletico Madrid man seems have to re-paid the investment which the Reds put in him and he was showered with praise by Sir Alex, when he spoke to the media after the game in Lancashire.
"http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-c10409 de Gea made three fantastic saves to keep us in the game. Although we had all the possession, we couldn't create the openings to get in front. David has done his bit for the team. He has really grown in stature the boy. He was outstanding,” he said.
The Scot also claimed that every remaining game in the season was crucially important but his players will be prepared for them and will look to earn their 20th English title.
"They are all big games now. It doesn't matter if it is next Sunday, next Wednesday, the Sunday after that, they are all big ones. The players are prepared for that. We will fight right to the end in all the games for the right to win the matches,” Fergie
was quoted as saying.
United next take on relegation battlers QPR at Old Trafford on Sunday.
