‘De Gea’s made mistakes but will be fantastic again’ – Van der Sar sees benefits to Man Utd keeper battle

David de Gea has been “fantastic” for Manchester United down the years and will be again, says Edwin van der Sar, with the former Red Devils goalkeeper expecting the presence of Dean Henderson at Old Trafford to raise collective standards.

Having faced little competition for his place in recent times, with Sergio Romero very much a No.2 in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s plans, errors have crept back into the game of a once reliable shot-stopper.

De Gea has started to face questions of his ongoing presence between the sticks as a result, with the Red Devils having welcomed Henderson back into their ranks from two productive loan spells at Sheffield United.
