    Man Utd vs Sevilla: Ten Hag speaks on replacing De Gea after making howlers leading to goals

    Manchester United boss, Erik ten Hag has taken a side on replacing the club’s goalie, David De Gea in subsequent games.

    De Gea’s mistakes led to Manchester United’s 3-0 defeat to Sevilla in the second leg of the quarter-final of the Europa League on Thursday evening.

    De Gea committed at least two blunders leading to goal in the encounter versus Sevilla last night in Seville.

    Many pundits believe that Ten Hag would be looking for another goalkeeper with better feet as it appears the 32-year-old is finding it difficult playing from the back.

    De Gea’s contract would be running out at the end of the season and there are calls for the former Spain International to be replaced.

    However, after the defeat last night, Ten Hag was asked if De Gea is United’s long-term goalkeeper.

    The Dutchman said, “He is the one with the most clean sheets in the Premier League.

    “So it shows he’s a very capable goalkeeper.”

    “He brought a great spirit to the team, we are playing really well and this is the way we have to show and keep the momentum as well.”
