Robbie Savage SLAMS Manchester United Keeper David de Gea after Sevilla Goal
- last year
Robbie Savage has criticized Manchester United keeper David de Gea for failing to save Sevilla's second goal in their Europa League quarter-final.
The Red Devils are out of the tournament after losing the second leg 3-0 in Seville.
Loic Bade deflected the ball in off the crossbar with his shoulder, but it was traveling slowly and right above De Gea when it went in.
After the goal, Robbie Savage said on BT Sport commentary: 'Such a terrible start. You look at David de Gea, I don't know what he's doing, it's right above him.
'I'm not sure he does well enough there. It comes off his shoulder, in off the crossbar, I think the goalkeeper has to do better there.
The goal put United 4-2 down on aggregate, giving them a mountain to climb in Seville.
After being 2-0 up in the first leg at Old Trafford, they scored two own goals late on, and went behind in the opening exchanges on Thursday after another mistake from de Gea allowed Youssef En-Nesyri a straightforward finish.
Even the introduction of star striker Marcus Rashford at halftime did not help, as they eventually lost 3-0 on the night after another goal from En-Nesyri.
They will be hoping for an improved performance in their FA Cup semi-final against Brighton on Sunday.
