David De Gea's rapid fall from grace has led to questions over whether Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer should drop the faltering goalkeeper.

De Gea has been at fault for a number of goals United have conceded recently, the latest coming in the 1-1 draw against Chelsea at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.

Here Press Association Sport takes a look at some moments the Spaniard would probably rather forget.

v Arsenal (March 10)

De Gea had allowed Yan Valery's thunderbolt to beat him at his near post a week earlier, although more credit was given to the Southampton full-back's astonishing effort. However, perhaps the root of his recent woes can be traced back to the Emirates Stadium, where some wicked swerve saw De Gea wrong-footed by Granit Xhaka's speculative long-range effort in the 12th minute. A 2-0 defeat was Solskjaer's first Premier League loss as United manager, and not a lot has gone right for the Norwegian or his number one since then.

v West Ham (April 13)

It was a disjointed performance from United as a whole as they laboured past West Ham, who were given a route back into the match by De Gea. His sloppy distribution led to Manuel Lanzini lifting a cross which Felipe Anderson squeezed home in the 49th minute. De Gea might even have rued not saving Anderson's effort after getting a hand to the ball. It should be noted that the 28-year-old made an excellent clawing save to deny substitute Michail Antonio's header shortly before Paul Pogba's second penalty of the game gave United a scarcely-deserved 2-1 win.

v Barcelona (April 16)

If the aforementioned two errors were minor, this was the moment when alarm bells first started ringing. There was nothing De Gea could do about Lionel Messi's trademark finish in the 16th minute but United's hopes of a Champions League comeback in this quarter-final second leg were doomed moments later. Messi's tame shot on his weaker right foot somehow squirmed under the United goalkeeper, much to the delight of the majority in the Nou Camp crowd. Barcelona went on to record a 3-0 win – 4-0 on aggregate – to march on in Europe.

v Manchester City (April 24)

After United's thumping 4-0 loss at Everton three days earlier – when De Gea arguably could have done more to stop long-range shots from Gylfi Sigurdsson and Lucas Digne – he was back under the microscope after a poor showing against his side's city rivals. De Gea was beaten at his near post by Bernardo Silva in the 54th minute but worse was to follow after the hour mark. The ball was spread to Leroy Sane on the left wing and the German's shot crept in as De Gea, attempting to save with his legs, was beaten for a second time at his near post and City went on to win 2-0.

v Chelsea (April 28)

United seemed in better spirits on Sunday and were a step ahead of Chelsea thanks to Juan Mata's opener shortly before the interval. However, De Gea could only parry a long-range effort from Antonio Rudiger into the path of Marcos Alonso, who stole in to score. The point means United's hopes of qualifying for next season's Champions League are out of their hands, but De Gea atoned for his earlier mistake with an excellent save to deny Gonzalo Higuain at the death. Solskjaer, for his part, is standing by his man as he said: "There's no chance any of us will point fingers because he's saved us so many times."
