Report: Manchester United players want Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to drop David de Dea after CL exit

Manchester United were knocked out of the Champions League after suffering a 3-2 defeat against RB Leipzig on Wednesday.

According to reports from Manchester Evening News, a number of United players feel Ole Gunnar Solskjaer should drop David de Gea for Dean Henderson.

Many players feel that Henderson deserves a run in the side following De Gea’s slump in form. In fact, Henderson has impressed his fellow teammates heavily in training.

The Spaniard struggled during the match and received strong criticism from former United player turned football pundit, Paul Scholes.

De Gea failed to intercept Angelino’s deflected cross for the third goal scored by Justin Kluivert, and Scholes has described it as ‘criminal’ goalkeeping.
