What’s not to love about David de Gea? Manchester United’s goalkeeper might appear to have it all: a humongous salary, a lovely family, a sensationally beautiful wife, Edurne Garcia, who is a star in her own right in Spain, and a pleasing ability to behave like a complete berk. He is a mix of utter brilliance and complete rubbish.
On Sunday, de Gea went the wrong way every time before Solly March shot over the top
Last week he made a series of terrible errors, backed up by a woeful Harry Maguire, to gift Sevilla a Europa League tie that United should have won quite easily. Then at the weekend he was magnificent in the FA Cup semi-final, keeping United in a game that Brighton should have won.
But wait, he can’t save penalties! On Sunday, he went the wrong way every time before Solly March shot over the top, and de Gea’s mates could (just) take the win and the place in the final.
