'It's a lonely position, I really feel for him': Kasper Schmeichel launches an impassioned defence of under fire David de Gea as Leicester and Manchester United get set for their crunch top four showdown

Leicester goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel has launched an impassioned defence of David de Gea following criticism of his Manchester United counterpart's form.

The Spaniard made one particularly high-profile error in United's FA Cup semi-final defeat to Chelsea last weekend by allowing Mason Mount's hopeful shot to make its way past him, and was also slightly criticised for not managing to keep out Olivier Giroud's opener.

Moreover, incidents such as Steven Bergwijn's goal for Tottenham in United's first game back following the restart, have raised doubts about the 29-year-old's long-term future at Old Trafford.
