Just imagine that. De Gea is the first goalkeeper for Man utd and the Spanish national team, but he can’t stop 11 penalties and can’t score either.. But it’s not his fault, All Man utd fans know that he is not good in saving penalties, except Ole Gunnar.
The Villarreal goalkeeper was far better than DeGea! At least he attempted 3 of United penalties, and scored his own too. But De Gea did not attempt just 1 penalty! Instead of Ole to start Dean, he started DeGea who has been bad in goal lately! Interesting!
The very best Goalkeepers are also good penalty savers. Examples include Casillas, Neur, Ederson, Buffon, Van der sar, and Schmicheal , just to name few.
Captain Bruno was disappointed that David De Gea Penalty Miss Helped Man Utd Lose Europa League Final to Villarreal

Why Man Utd Lose Europa League Final to Villarreal
United need to sign a top class CB plus a good CDM this summer, and Ole still needs to learn how to make effective substitutions. Matches like these expose the gaping holes in the ability and mentality of United weak squad.
Besides McTominay and Edinson Cavani, nobody really showed up today. Villarreal played like they wanted to win.
Ole played his strongest 11 without Harry Maguire, but the Red Devils didn’t fight for the final, and were poor with attacking. No one apart from Scott was serious with that game – players including Rashford let the manager and the fans down. If the attack was good, the Reds could have smashed Villarreal in the first half. There’s nothing left to be said, the Reds need to move on from this and come back stronger next season. Enough of the unexpected defeats!

Ed Woodward fired the special one for an inexperienced coach…. JOSE easily won the Europa League trophy. Now ManUtd play entertaining football that can’t give them trophies, proving the fact that Jose will always be the special one! Football is about trophies and not just good possession and securing a top 4 finish in the league.
Honestly, Rashford too missed a lot of chances in that game, so you can blame Ole for not changing him when he repeated the mistakes many times in the game.
Although, David De Gea Penalty Miss Helped Man Utd Lose Europa League Final to Villarreal, all hope is not lost provided United can re-organize their squad next summer.
If CR7 is leaving juventus, please bring him back to Manchester United. He can bring more trophies for the club.
If you could tell the difference between Man Utd fans feeling towards the Villarreal Europa League final game and how the game was played out, you’d understand why some fans were left angry and disappointed at the results. The point is that lazy players like Rashford leave the fans with very little chances to criticize them .
You’ve to understand it’s only a few players against millions of fans, and the fans want the players to play with passion and aim for victory.
The Manchester United players were not good enough as they never showed their energy and hunger as expected.
Another possibility is that this loss is not the fault of David de Gea’s miserable spot kick. It’s the other 10 players who played like the game was a pre-season friendly match instead of a Europa League Cup Final. Furthermore, if you looked at Unai vs Ole Gunnar body language at the touchline throughout the match, you would know who took this Cup final seriously.
There is NO REASON for Gareth Southgate to be linked with the Manchester United job
Gareth Southgate is the only person in the Universe who can turn Manchester United into Middlesbrough within no time
The English media is trying all their best to push Southgate to united, but he is championship level manager at best
The England national team is waay better than this Manu squad, and he has had 0 success ( reaching semis ain’t success). So what exactly are people expecting if he becomes Manu boss
Absolutely no way! Why would Man U hire Southgate? That would be the worse decision in the history of the game.
ETH outwitted Klopp last weekend in one of the best and most dramatic FA cup clashes in years and I’m sorry but Southgate would not have won that game and ETH has had to deal with Ronaldo, Sancho, Greenwood and so on, he deserves more time

I have been saying this for weeks now. If United were under any other manager especially Southgate, they would be fighting for relegation right now. The problem at United is not Ten Hag but the players.
People keep saying that Ten Hag’s style of football at United is not attractive and no identity but there is so much that a manager can do if the players themselves are not good enough or not putting enough effort. Ten Hag’s Ajax were playing attractive football and he managed to get them to the SF of the CL.
Without him, look at Ajax now. And the media keep pushing their agenda to get Ten Hag sack and replace him with a much worse manager like Southgate. If Ten Hag is managing England right now, with the players they have, we won’t see such a passive football like we saw yesterday vs Brazil. Ask Liverpool fans, would they replace Klopp with Southgate? I rest my case.

- Liverpool blame themselves for FA Cup loss to Man United
- Man United searching for Erik ten Hag replacement
Liverpool only have themselves to blame for loss to Manchester United. Had to find a way to squeeze in the random Bruno slag off in between. Dude was dead on his feet at full time, and had to slot in to center back for the last 30 minutes.
SportsFila reflect on Manchester United’s 4-3 win over Liverpool in the FA Cup Quarterfinals and look ahead to the semifinals where Erik ten Hag’s side will take on Coventry.
How come everybody seems to have forgotten that 2 of LFC’s goals were pure luck?
More shots, same shots on goal, higher goal expectancy. What is this narrative that Liverpool should have put this game away, if anything we should’ve put this game away! They had a good 20, 25 minute stint where they kept the ball in the second half, but did nothing with it, we deservedly won this game.

For Liverpool fans: don’t say that we lost to Manchester United because Jota Trent Alisson and jones didn’t play. We have to stop doing that every time a team loses a big game it’s very stupid because had you won, you wouldn’t be saying that. Don’t forget that when y’all drew 0-0 to them at home Trent Alisson and Jones started. Keep in mind how well they’ve been playing despite having lots of injuries they almost beat Manchester City’s full strength squad last week.
Also, you lose to Manchester United, 2 fringe players for them decided the game for them, Liverpool didn’t play well and a loss is a loss you have to accept it otherwise you’re a sole loser and are unwilling to take it.
It’s interesting how nothing much is said about the mistakes made by Liverpool, but all criticism is piled on Bruno; how supposedly poor he was.
Ten Hag claims United is moving in the right direction 👀 WHAT DIRECTION IS THAT?!
Every time he speaks after a dismal performance after the match I always sit there saying to myself “What on Earth are you talking about”.
The media trying so hard to get ETH sacked…..when liverpool had bad injuries with VVD out, y’all didnt have the same energy
Most fans want ETH out because of his poor tactics and substitutions. I also felt he should be braver to drop non-performing players irrespective of names, and even play academy players if he has to.
Now I’m ETH in because I realise from Rooney’s and Ole’s recent interviews that the mentality of these players are incredibly low and it’s no longer just speculation that the players can’t cope on this stage.
I can understand ETH saying positive things and coming off as “crazy” but if you have players who are weak minded and aren’t willing to fight, you can’t be tough cos they’ll cave and where does that leave you for the rest of the season?! Jason Sancho case in point. I rather come across as insane to the media but hope that I’m lifting the team enough to get a string of performances to save my job and give the fans at least something to cheer about until I can have a summer clear out.
Keane is a freaking legend but that approach with these weak players will kill them and ETH would lose the dressing room.
This man keeps dropping off bombs on and off the field..A gift that keeps on giving..Most delulu man on this green earth
What a GIFT! Hand him a 15 years contract and 5 years add ons
The problem for Utd in recruiting an elite manager in the Summer is that Liverpool, Bayern and Barca will also be looking for new managers.
From the moment I heard “A new era begins. .” from ETH. I knew it was the joke of the century. He has the guts to say it while Klopp/Guardiola are competing against each other by 1 point in the Primer league he acted like he can compete with them ro
