Man Utd keeper De Gea to start against Huddersfield

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed David De Gea will start against Huddersfield Town on Saturday.

There have been calls for De Gea to be dropped after a number of mistakes recently, the latest of which came in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Chelsea.

Speaking at a pre-match press conference, Solskjaer said he was sticking by the Spaniard.

"I would think so, yeah, or he will play," said the Norwegian.

"Sergio [Romero] was injured yesterday so didn't train, tweaked his knee, so David's been training well this week."

The Norwegian added: "He's been fantastic this season.

"Towards the end now he's been in headlines for the wrong reasons but he has to deal with that.

"The goalkeeping department are fantastic, with Emilio [Alvarez], Sergio, Lee [Grant] and David, they've been such a tight-knit group. They've experienced better times than just now but he's ready for Sunday."
