The 30-year-old returned to the starting line-up in the defeat to RB Leipzig on Tuesday, after missing our Premier League win over West Ham United last weekend.
Dean Henderson filled in for our no.1 during that game, as well as in the second half of the comeback at Southampton, as De Gea struggled with a knee injury, suffered trying to keep out James Ward-Prowse’s free-kick – those were the first minutes David had missed in the Premier League for United since the final day of the 2017/18 campaign.
Our four-time Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year then suffered criticism for his display at Red Bull Arena, along with much of the rest of the side, as the Reds exited the Champions League.
