Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer insisted he had no regrets over his decision to keep faith with David de Gea after another costly error from the Spaniard helped Chelsea claim a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford on Sunday.
De Gea had been in the spotlight for his poor performances as Solskjaer’s men had lost heavily to Barcelona, Everton and Manchester City in their previous three games.
And after a bright start from the hosts was rewarded by Juan Mata’s 11th-minute opener, De Gea cost the Red Devils again when he spilled Antonio Rudiger’s long-range effort to allow Marcos Alonso to equalise just before half-time.
Yet, as De Gea headed for the dressing room at the break, his name was chanted by the home support in recognition of his brilliant performances over a number of seasons prior to his recent loss of form.
