After Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker gave up against Aston Villa, David de Gea was declared the official winner of the Premier League Golden Glove award.
Alisson can now only preserve 14 clean sheets this year after giving up against Aston Villa, giving De Gea the Golden Glove award for the Premier League. Prior to the match against Bournemouth, De Gea had made 16 saves. He still has two games left in the season, one more than the Brazilian.
De Gea, who previously received the honor in 2017–18, has had some difficulty this year and has drawn criticism for a number of notable miscues, most recently against West Ham. While United is still гᴜмогed to be looking for a goalkeeper this summer to fιɡҺт with the Spaniard, Bruno Fernandes has made a point of defending his teammate in the past. Gregor Kobel of Borussia Dortmund seems to be a primary target.
De Gea expressed his delight in his accomplishment to reporters after the game, saying, “It means that myself and the team did really well. I think the team, especially in the defensive side, we’ve been pretty solid the whole season. I think I’ve played very good this whole season in helping the team as best as I can. Today we kept a big clean sheet, a massive three points, we’re more close to finishing in the top four, so that’s very good for us. There are some very good goalies there [in the Premier League] so it [winning the Golden Glove award] feels good.”
David de Gea made a mistake a few weeks ago, but everyone makes mistakes, Ten Hag added as he praised his goalkeeper for his achievements this season. We have so many clean sheets because we defend with 11 players. David made some outstanding stops.
Despite his outstanding clean sheet record this season, it is unclear if he will be United’s first choice when a new deal is due to be signed.
Although the defense does its job very well, the аттаcƙ of Man Utd is not so. Erik ten Hag claimed that the ‘only critique’ he has of Manchester United following their victory against Bournemouth on Saturday was that they weren’t able to score more goals to end the game.
In the ninth minute, Casemiro scored the game’s sole goal with an impressive finish. It would have been sufficient for Manchester United to guarantee their spot in the Champions League for the upcoming season had Liverpool not scored a late equalizer against Aston Villa.
Although Ten Hag’s team will have to wait a little longer to confirm it, a return to the premier UEFA tournament is still very much within their grasp. It would be sufficient if they could win their upcoming game against Chelsea at home on Thursday.
Man Utd have a worse аттаcƙing record than teams as low as eighth, ninth, and tenth in the rankings with only 52 goals scored in the Premier League this season.
Therefore, in order to fully satisfy Ten Hag, they will need to work on developing larger leads.
