Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Defends Goalkeeper David De Gea After Watford Howler

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer defended goalkeeper David De Gea after his howler during the Red Devils' 2-0 Premier League defeat to Watford at Vicarage Road on Sunday.

The Spain international was at fault for the opening goal, dropping a catch that allowed Ismaila Sarr to score his first Premier League goal for the Hornets.

Solskjaer spoke to Sky Sports (h/t AFP) after the match and refused to blame his goalkeeper but did add that his team did not deserve anything from the match after putting in a limp display:

"It was a mistake, it happens in football and it is what we train for every day to make sure they don't happen again.
