Solskjaer responds to ex-Man Utd teammate Keane after De Gea attack

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has defended David de Gea after an astonishing blast from former teammate Roy Keane.

During last night's 1-1 draw with Tottenham, Keane tore into De Gea for failing to keep out Steven Bergwijn's 27th-minute opener. Bruno Fernandes equalised from the spot nine minutes from time.

Solskjaer said: “David did really well. Roy was a fantastic midfielder and he's a good friend of mine.

"But I'm not sure he'd have stopped it either. David was a bit disappointed but the ball was moving through the air. We reacted well."

The draw foiled Jose Mourinho's bid to take his side to within a point of fifth-placed United. Instead it continued the worst run of the Spurs boss's entire career with five defeats and two draws from the north Londoners' last seven.
