Man Utd boss Ferguson furiously defends De Gea: What about Man City keeper Hart?!!

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has defended goalkeeper David De Gea for his performance in the Community Shield.

Ferguson took exception with the lack of criticism in contrast for Manchester City No1 Joe Hart.

"It was interesting there was no criticism of Joe Hart," said Ferguson. "It was exactly the same type of goal, and he's your bloody national goalkeeper.

"The goalkeeper has absolutely no chance when the ball gets whipped in like that. It only needs a fraction of a touch and the goalkeeper's dead.

"If he comes for it, he looks silly. He's just got to hope that the defenders deal with it and our defenders didn't deal with it."
