da bet7: Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea has denied claims that he was dropped for his side’s recent fixture against Sunderland, and states that he was merely being rested.
The Spanish stopper sat out The Red Devils’ 1-0 win over Sunderland last weekend as Anders Lindegaard got the nod, but this was not due to his form.
“I didn’t play in the past weekend but Ferguson told me it was just so I could rest. He’s an incredible coach and without doubt the best in the world,” he told Cadena Ser.
“What I have learned since the summer in England is more than most of my professional career in Spain. It is another world in all of the concepts.”
The ex-Atletico Madrid man has come under scrutiny since moving to the Premier League, with his performances at times questioned by the media.
However it would appear that Sir Alex Ferguson was merely shuffling his pack in a long season full of fixtures.
United sit five points adrift of cross-town rivals Manchester City at the top of the division, but De Gea feels that the reigning champions can still regain their crown.
“United can still win it all. It’s still not decided that City will finish first,” he stated defiantly.
