He went on to say that if he had to buy a sports team, it would be Manchester United. “However, if it had to be any team, it would be Manchester United. As a child, they were my favourite team “, he explained.
The Premier League team has been in bad form, most recently losing 4-0 to Brentford on Saturday, thanks to two early errors from David de Gea. De Gea apologised to supporters after the game and described his performance as “terrible.” “I’m just taking responsibility today,” he said to Sky Sports. “I think I cost my team three points. It was a poor performance for me. After the first mistake and then the second, it was very difficult for my teammates. At the moment, it’s difficult every time we concede a goal. I should have saved the first shot – (if I had), the result would have been different.”

“Of course, we must improve our reaction time and our ability to score goals. It was a dreadful performance. Pre-season play is too simple – you play for nothing. When it comes to important games, you need boldness, consistency, and the right players. All we have to do now is remain together as a team and keep working. This is only the beginning. With a new manager, we have a lot to work on as a team “, he went on to say.
