Fergie defends De Gea

by Setanta Staff , 04 February 2012

Sir Alex Ferguson has defended David De Gea's record and claims that no-one will remember his current struggles in two years time.


De Gea will take his place between the sticks for United against Chelsea despite some recent criticism for his displays, but with Anders Lindegaard out for up to six weeks with ankle ligament damage, he is going to get a run in the side.

Ferguson believes his £18m signing from Atletico Madrid will come through his current troubles, with the United boss insisting "the boy has got a great talent".

Ferguson added: "He has made two or three mistakes but in two or three years' time we won't be discussing that at all because he will have matured. Then he will be realising his potential."
