Honestly did you expect him to say De Gea has been shit? Come onDe Gea has been fantastic this season? did he really just say that
Press Conference for Huddersfield

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Yeah, cause that's the only two alternatives!
Chelsea or Arsenal are winning the EL , so there is no CL for us , this is sure .
He meant overall.De Gea has been fantastic this season? did he really just say that
DDG has made a few costly errors recently but he has performed relatively well over the course of the season. He was practically unbeatable during Ole's first couple of months in charge.
Chelsea/Arsenal winning the EL doesn't affect us getting the CL in the slightest. 4th place would still give us CL football if one of them win it.
Those aren't mutually exclusive.
Only if we don't finish in the top four, which is likely. If one of them win the EL and we finish fourth, we would still qualify for the CL. Fourth only doesn't qualify for the CL if fifth and sixth win the CL and EL.
No ofcourse not, maybe word it like "he's had a tough time of late, but we have full confidence in him that'll he'll get back to his usual form blah blah etc" not he's been fantastic this season!
What’s the story of Pogba missing training? Surely he starts this one if fit.
De Gea has been quite poor all season, barring a few games early in Ole's reign. Obviously over the last month or so he's dropped even further.
Of course Ole isn't going to say something like that though. He's going to try to take some pressure off DDG and try to build his confidence up.
But that's not what the press will report... it'll be "Ole slams De Gea's form" in an "Ole throws De Gea under Jose's bus, and De Gea's off to Paris with his mate Ander" narrative. What he's done is refuse to give them a quote the way Jose would have... but also not attacking the journalist who asked for the headlines they'll inevitably write like Van Gaal... and not saying that De Gea needs to aspire to Alisson's level like Moyes.No ofcourse not, maybe word it like "he's had a tough time of late, but we have full confidence in him that'll he'll get back to his usual form blah blah etc" not he's been fantastic this season!
I don't think that contracting strains and other minor muscular injuries is that uncommon for young players who are playing at a new and higher level. But having said that, he has been quite unlucky this season.
I'd love to see the total injuries from all teams over the last 5 years. Our squad is constantly having injury problems. Would love just 1 season where we don't have like 10 players out at the same time
He is only a kid and will still be growing as well. Hopefully he will be fit for the last game. If not he should be going on tour with the first team squad.
Would give garner a start deffo this week, along with Chong.
Hopefully Greenwood's injury woes are just growing pains and he'll be over them in another year or two.
Feck sakes, another sicknote in Greenwood.
Believe he said "players you haven't written about as well".
That is how the Manchester Evening News worded it, I only copied and pasted it. Sorry.
City / Liverpool / Tottenham are top 3 - so if we finish 4th , Chelsea or Arsenal would be 5th or 6th and if they win EL , they go , we are fecked up .
If we finish 4th we are still in the CL as you can have 5 qualifiers. It is only a problem if someone outside the Top 4 win the CL. Only one team can win the EL. If we are outside Top 4 we will be in the EL anyway.
No, then we'd have 5 English teams in the CL
Do you have goldfish memory? Literally last season England had five teams in CL because we won EL the season before.
No. I said in my post that the only way fourth doesn't qualify for the CL is if fifth and sixth win the CL and EL. Countries can have five teams max in Europe but not six. There were five English teams in the CL when we won the EL.
Ditto. As least under LVG we still had a Europa Final. Diddly squat here
No worries mate. A real shame for MEN though, if they missed this quote that could serve as catalyst for a possible influx of shit transfer reports coming from them.
Feel good factor !!!. There is nothing this squad have to feel good about. Disgrace the lot of them
Winning the EL is an exclusive spot, it doesn't affect 4th PL position!
You really are angry aren't you.
How do people still not get the rules
Why is it so difficult for people to understand this simple concept!Had his arse kicked big time. Easy to tell. Gone is the joking everyone's best friend routine. Guy is under pressure, results have been diabolical.
Been saying that for 6 straight seasons now
been a terrible season. Cant gloss over it.
You're right. If we totally stamp out their confidence now, they'll never score again. Just like they deserve.
Maybe they should have made you manager.
Only 2 more games until this madness ends. Thank goodness.
That's one word for him.
Can't wait. Just need Liverpool to lose the title and I can relax over the summer.
Honestly, the amount of times the question of EL and 4th place was being asked in the race for top 4 thread. Seriously, every fecking page! I wouldn't mind normally, but it's not as if we went through exactly that in 2017, or that the exact same questions arose in 2015, or that the questions had been asked and answered literally the page before!!How do people still not get the rules
I know. I just want it to end, but then you know we are all going to suffer through the summer. Our hopes will all be built up over transfers just be crushed. Then Watford will win the cup and we will finish 6th and have to pre-qualify for the EL. Which might feck over our pre-season. God I need to talk to somebody.
