Man Utd boss Solskjaer dismisses Keane, Neville criticism of De Gea

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer insists David de Gea is the best goalkeeper in the world.

De Gea was at fault when Stephen Bergwijn put Spurs in the lead and he was lambasted on Sky Sports by former United captain Roy Keane at half-time, who said "De Gea is the most overrated goalkeeper I've seen in a long, long time,"

Gary Neville also expressed his concern about the Spaniard's form, saying: "He was the one player United could rely upon for the last four years but he's not the same."

But Solskjaer said today: "David is the best goalkeeper in the world.

"He's conceded two goals in the last seven game he's played for us. There's two games against City, Chelsea, of course Tottenham, Everton. Two goals in seven games, we've gone on a run not conceding goals. The Everton one is a freak one, maybe. This one, he cannot save it.

"He makes great saves, he wins games for us and I still think he's the best goalkeeper in the world.

"David's working really hard. He's not making errors that you see time and time again. He's been consistently working hard in training and I'm very pleased with his work."
