Man United defence branded 'softer than a muffin' by David De Gea's former coach, who pins blame on 'Solskjaer's tactical organisation' for goalkeeper's poor form... and insists Edinson Cavani is the team's BEST DEFENDER in parting swipe

David De Gea's former goalkeeping coach has launched an extraordinary attack on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and the Manchester United team, in defence of the Spanish goalkeeper.

De Gea has come under fire for several weeks, after losing his place in the United senior team before taking back between the sticks for the Europa League final but failing to save a single penalty in a tense shootout.

It was then De Gea who would miss the crucial penalty against Villarreal after all on-field takers had been exhausted, and the criticism has poured in ever since regarding the Spaniard's future in the side.
