De Gea mistake just one of those things, says Solskjaer

The Red Devils boss says the goalkeeper remains confident and focused despite his costly error in the loss to Watford

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has dismissed David de Gea's mistake against Watford as "one of those things" after his side suffered a 2-0 defeat on Sunday.

Watford scored twice in the early stages of the second half to seal the three points against the Red Devils.

De Gea was held responsible for Watford's first goal as Ismaila Sarr's shot bounced past him and into the top corner before Troy Deeney converted a penalty.
