David De Gea has come under close scrutiny in recent weeks after a series of blunders have directly led to goals.
Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has kept faith with the 28-year-old Spaniard, who retained his starting place in Sunday’s penultimate Premier League game of the season at Huddersfield.

A big save from David! #MUFC‘s no.1 reacts well to thwart Grant — still 1-0 to the Reds with five minutes to go in the first half. #HUDMUN https://t.co/IhNfKdNMLq

De Gea proved there is nothing wrong with his concentration levels. Having barely touched the ball throughout the first half, the Spain international produced a lightning-quick reaction to flick out one of his long legs and keep out Grant’s shot. Early in the second half he showed no hesitation when sprinting clear of his penalty area to clear the danger and slam the ball into touch.
