After another David De Gea blunder against Chelsea, Craig Burley examines the Man United keeper’s struggles and ponders his frame of mind.

Chelsea and Manchester United did little to lay claim to the 4th and final Champions League spot as the Blues cling to a 2-point lead over Arsenal for 4th.
MANCHESTER, England –  As he walked off the pitch at the end of Manchester United’s 1-1 draw against Chelsea at Old Trafford, David De Gea threw his gloves into the crowd and headed up the players’ tunnel.
After making yet another costly mistake that led to his team conceding a goal — this one, scored by Marcos Alonso, is likely to have cost United a place in next season’s Champions League — some might suggest that the goalkeeper will not need his gloves again this season.

Chelsea and Manchester United did little to lay claim to the 4th and final Champions League spot as the Blues cling to a 2-point lead over Arsenal for 4th.

MANCHESTER, England — Manchester United’s bid for a place in the top four was hit by another David De Gea howler against Chelsea at Old Trafford on Sunday, resulting in a 1-1 draw.

Juan Mata gave the home side a deserved lead after 11 minutes only for De Gea to fumble Antonio Rudiger’s 35-yard effort at Marcos Alonso’s feet for the Chelsea defender to score an equaliser on the stroke of half-time. It meant United failed to take advantage of Arsenal’s defeat at Leicester in the race for Champions…

ESPN FC’s Shaka Hislop says that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s recent comments and Manchester United’s poor run of form proves he’s unfit to be manager.

Alejandro Moreno and Alexis Nunes predict the results of the most important matches of week 36 of the English Premier League.

ESPN FC’s Alejandro Moreno is incredulous as to why Man United midfielder Paul Pogba was voted into the PFA Team of the Year.

ESPN FC’s Craig Burley was left deeply underwhelmed by Manchester United’s latest defeat to title-chasing Manchester City.
MANCHESTER, England — Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has said he has no intention of dropping goalkeeper David De Gea.

Asked whether he has considered dropping De Gea, the manager said: “No, not at all, because I trust David and he’s, for me, been the best player United have…

The FC crew agree that Man United will have to dig deep against Barcelona to reproduce a comeback reminiscent of what they pulled off in Paris.
Manchester United goalkeeping coach Emilio Alvarez says David De Gea has done “super special preparation” before facing Barcelona’s Lionel Messi in Tuesday’s Champions League encounter at Camp Nou.

David De Gea’s howler effectively ended Manchester United’s Champions League hopes.

BARCELONA, Spain — Manchester United were dumped out of the Champions League by Barcelona after a David De Gea howler contributed to a 3-0 defeat at Camp Nou.

It might have been different had Marcus Rashford converted a good chance after 24 seconds instead of hitting the bar, but after Messi scored…
