Manchester United supporters are certain that David de Gea is “100 times better” than Andre Onana after he saved two penalties for Fiorentina against AC Milan.
Sunday night in Serie A, De Gea had an incredible performance against Milan, saving two penalties as his team triumphed 2-1 in Florence. Tammy Abraham and Theo Hernandez both missed from the spot, but De Gea twice stood tall from 12 yards. For Fiorentina, Moise Kean also missed a penalty. It’s quite the reversal; in 12 years at Manchester United, De Gea only saved seven penalties. However, some Red Devils supporters are starting to miss the Spaniard, who was not given the option to extend his contract at Old Trafford past June 2023.
THOUGHTS FROM THE FANS
“Acknowledge that De Gea was among the best goalkeepers,” stated @Arcoffootball. Far superior to Onana by a hundred.”
“The problem was Ten Hag,” wrote @Jeff_Tymer_.
It was remarked by @Markgoldbridge that “De Gea should never have left.”
“Can’t believe they think ‘Onana’ is better than this guy,” commented @RackiRMA.
In conclusion, @MorganECFC1 said, “He was never the problem, got driven out for someone who’s no better.”
Prior to this match on Sunday, Federico Marchetti was the previous Serie A goalkeeper to save two penalties in a single game, which occurred during Carpi’s match against Lazio in 2016.
De Gea is probably going to start in goal for Fiorentina against Lecce in Serie A following the international break. Currently ranked eleventh in Serie A, they will be hoping to start challenging for European spots following a decisive victory over Milan, one of the preseason favorites to win the championship.
