How shit must you feel as a rag when you realise your best player is a lanky thug?

Thought he was Belgian, not Lancastrian.

Sounds like Alexis Sanchez has done his hammy. That'll be a vital spot on the bench United will need to fill.

That'll be the next England wonderkid, whoever he is.

The new Nick Powell, I presume.

Raggy McRagface from their youth development system no doubt?

Could be up to 6 weeks!!!!!!!
Thats a bad injury, at least he can count his £5 million in wages to keep him occupied.

Talking of wonderkids, what happened to Jizzinyereye?

The BBC just reposted a Tweet from united official twitter

A list of goalkeepers better than De Gea- followed by a lot of blank.

even over on the Cafe, they know It’s not true - someone recently posted that in 333 games started for United he’s let in ...333 goals.
It might only be 1 type of stat, but it’s a good enough indication.

It looks even worse on transfermarkt (United only)

He’s actually marginally improved under the managers after ferguson - 80 starts, 89 goals.

Compare to Ederson at City:
https://www.transfermarkt.com/eders.../liga/0/wettbewerb//pos/0/trainer_id/0/plus/1
63 starts, 46 goals

Even comparing his (but 1) replacement at Athletico, shows a rather better goalie, in Oblak
https://www.transfermarkt.com/jan-o.../liga/0/wettbewerb//pos/0/trainer_id/0/plus/1
181 starts, 117 goals

Cf De Gea at Athletico
https://www.transfermarkt.com/david...&verein=13&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=
84 starts, 112 goals.

It’s been obvious for at least 5/6 seasons that De Gea is their most vital player, the paucity of their defence capabilities compared to the equivalent ‘top’ teams, might be a reason for the poor goals against per game average, but to claim he’s best in the world... geez.

He’s by far the most important player at United, I’ll give them that.
