goal : The 22-year-old was partly blamed after the club dropped valuable points in their failed Premier League title challenge last season, but his manager has backed him to succeed.
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has backed under-fire David de Gea, with the goalkeeper struggling for consistency since joining the club in 2011.
The 22-year-old had the blame laid at his feet after the club dropped valuable points in their failed Premier League title challenge last season – losing his place to second-choice Anders Lindegaard in the process.
But De Gea, who joined the club from Atletico Madrid, is now set to for his fiercest challenge yet in the form of Real Madrid and his manager has praised the youngster’s progression this campaign.
