Keane probably had an aneurysm watching that match.

He really isn't.
Why oh why did he start today. Ole should be dropping him for the Premiership, nevermind playing him in the cup games.
Ole messe dup starting him today. Feel bad for Romero.

Not a rash decision at all. DeGea has been poor for some time. A rest might do DeGea good in the long term.
Sack his coach and get him working in the gym on his upper body strength.
It's better for both parties if he leaves.
He is a Club legend though.
His performances for Spain just destroyed him.

I think he needs to have a challenge. If he felt under threat, he wouldn't be so complacent.
It's really sad and I can't imagine how shit he feels, but for the team's sake he needs to be dropped. Just praying he holds up for the next two league games, but if Ole suspects his confidence has been completely knocked from today, he really shouldn't start him against West Ham imo.

3 years left for De Gea on 350k a week is the huge problem. Presume we can weasel out of the optional 4th year, but just when we're beginning to get over the Rooney and Sanchez deals, we have another one that's a huge problem.
World Cup broke him. Called it awhile ago that his best attribute was declining. Without shot stopping, he has nothing and now he barely has that.
These mistakes aren't one offs and it's becoming a major issue. He became one of the rest why we missed out last year and it's looking like that could occur again.
He probably is. Personally I’ve never rated him above Schmeichel and VDS but he’s been a top servant for the club. He’s washed up now though. I think he’s mentally weak for an elite player. That second error was because he was scared after first error.
That’s it he’s made far to many mistakes now. He’s went from being the best keeper in the world to an absolute liability, time for Henderson now.
You have a short memory I see.
Just becasue he's declined doesn't mean he didn't carry us for years FFS. Get a grip.
How can De Gea be a club legend ? He has been a great player for us alright but sure as hell not to the "legend" state. His trophies record with us is shambolic and he'll always have Peter and VDS ahead of him in terms of United's best GKs.
We have so many players that are legends and it's hard to classify De Gea among them. Great player, not a legend.

I don't want to put all blame on him, but that was a terrible performance. Shot stopping is supposed to be his bread and butter, he is not a commanding keeper in the box but you sacrifice that for some terrific shot stopping.
If he can't do the thing that he is best at, and he is not improving any other parts to his game, then why is he being paid top wages for ??

Why the hell would Atleti swap the best GK in the world for someone way worse, older and on higher wages?.
He is in need for a change of environment, mentally he isn't here anymore.
Ole will have to stick by him next week, let's hope we can find him a new club in the summer.

Would be utter madness to start him again this season.
Can you imagine how nervoud and error ridden he'd be in that absolutely crucial game against Leicester.
I'm just sick and very tired of him now. Every shot on target you panic because it might be a goal. No matter how shit the shot is, with De Gea in net there's always a chance it's a goal.
The next two games could and should be Ole’s Les Sealey moment.
He’s been poor for 4 of the 8 goals he’s conceded since the restart. I really don’t trust him going into the last 2.

How on EARTH is he a club legend? You're the one who needs to get a grip, not to mention get real about what makes someone a 'club legend'.
I was willing to give him another season after the howlers he made in the 2011/12 season. I thought highly of him from the 2012/13 season onward and forgave his mistakes last season. I was even in the crowd when he dropped that clanger against Chelsea towards the end of last season, I was behind his net. This sub-par performances from him cost us last season and are costing us again this season.
I'd drop him for West Ham. Enough is enough
Huge decision for Ole during the summer.
I would love De Gea to recover and turn his form around, but frankly by his high standards he has too low below par. That 2nd goal?!?

Tricky thing with goalkeepers is that it's not like you can let two good players fight it out for the same position - because you can't be changing your keeper every other week.
Don't know what the answer is. But there's only one way to find out if Henderson is good enough to take the No.1 spot...
Plus, it's not as if Romero is bad.

Forget next season. What are we doing with him right now? Can we risk starting him again the next two games?
Romero should start the next couple of games
I know but I'm assuming he will start regardless. I don't know, Ole is pretty stealthy the way he drops players, but De Gea because of his history is getting a long leash. I'm just not sure if Ole will drop him for the next two games.
I said we should have let him go last season but he's here and I'm praying he doesn't let us down in the next two matches. The club can make a decision on his future after those games.
Ole simply must drop him now for the good of the team! When a ‘shot stopper’ starts conceding howlers there’s nothing left to hang your hat on
Anyone who calls him a club legend needs to get a grip. Being good, even very good for three/four season doens't make someone a club legend, least not at Manchester United. A club legend is someone who plays an integral role in multiple title-winning squads, needless to say, base don that criteria, he is not a club legend.
Could cost Ole his top flight managerial career if he doesn't grow a pair.
I'm not even going to bother with you because it's not worth my time TBH.
Feel sorry for DDG but for me it’s all over now. He’s been calamitous for quite a few goals this season. He just doesn’t look right & definitely a shadow of the keeper he once was. Probably time to put in Romero as No.1 because my favoured choice Oblak probably won’t leave AM.
Club legend 
There aren't many players who've dropped this far for such an extended period (I'm saying 2 years, others will disagree) and come back from it. Maybe the competition that Henderson would provide would snap him out of it, but the issues look far more fundamental and, sadly, terminal, to me.
Should have saved the first as well. He kind of palmed it into the net.
He probably needs a change of scenery. Go back to Atleti and let us have Oblak?
I would love to hear Keane's opinion on his performance today.
Money. Of course I'm not talking about a straight swap like Sanchez-Mkhitaryan deal.
Also, Oblak said last year he wants to play in the Premier League before he retires. Maybe he'll be interested in coming as well as David going back to his boyhood club.
The only thing that would prevent such a swap is De Gea's wages imo.
Most of this is mental. Working out in the gym won’t stop him from letting easily saveable shots through him.
