The coach of Manchester Utd, Erik TenhagHe said, he has full confidence in the goalkeeper David De Gea despite a mistake by the Madrid goalkeeper that gave West Ham United a 1-0 Premier League win on Sunday.
De Gea let a harmless first-half shot from Said Benrahma slip into the net as United suffered their second consecutive league defeat. Despite everything, they remain fourth and one point above Liverpool, who have played one more game.
Ten Hag said he hopes the 32-year-old will extend his tenure at the club (his contract expires in the summer). “He has the most clean sheets in the Premier League so we wouldn’t be in this position without him,” Ten Hag told reporters. “He has my complete confidence. I’m not worried at all. These things happen but as a team you have to deal with it, show character, be resilient and recover. We want him to stay and extend his contract.”
Asked if Liverpool’s six-game winning streak had affected his team, Ten Hag said: “It’s not about Liverpool, it’s about us because if you realize it, it’s all in our hands. It doesn’t change anything. It made it easier if we won, sure, but we need three wins in four games. It’s up to us. We have to believe.”
