David de Gea was criticized.
Manchester United was defeated 0-3 by Sevilla in the second leg of the 2022-23 season European Football Association (UEFA) Europa League (UEL) quarterfinals held at Ramon Sanchez Pisjuan in Seville, Spain at 4:00 am (Korean time) on the 21st. . As a result, Manchester United were 2-5 on aggregate and failed to advance to the semi-finals.
From the beginning of the first half, the atmosphere 스포츠토토 became chaotic. In the 8th minute of the first half, De Gea passed the ball to Harry Maguire in front to avoid pressure from the opponent, and Maguire attempted a pass to Aaron Wan-Bissaka. However, Maguire was immediately surrounded by Sevilla players, and Youssef En-Nesiri, who received the ball from Eric Lamela, scored with a calm shot.
It was Maguire’s mistake. However, later, it was pointed out that Gea’s pass was also a problem, as it was in the situation before Maguire dedicated the ball. Gary Neville pointed out De Gea’s pass through his social media, saying, “Maguire will be pointed out by him for his mistakes, but I don’t like De Gea’s pass.”
De Gea made mistakes afterward. In the 36th minute of the second half, with Manchester United trailing 0-2, Nesiri started running to receive the ball kicked from the Sevilla camp. De Gea cleared the net to expedite this, but he failed to properly handle the ball. The ball went to En Nesiri, and En Nesiri put a wedge in the game with an accurate shot into the empty goal.
I couldn’t escape criticism. Reporter Samuel Luckhurst, who covers Manchester United for the Manchester Evening News, said of De Gea’s performance, “De Gea failed to live up to manager Erik ten Haag’s claims that he had multiple skills, and he got United back into trouble. I was responsible for the second goal, and it was like a disaster at the time of the third goal.”
This was the lowest rating among Manchester United players who started, along with Jadon Sancho. When he gave up the first run, his choice to pass the ball to Maguire would have had an impact on his rating, but most of all, he failed to properly handle the ball in the third run.
