Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer doubted Roy Keane’s opinion that David De Gea is overrated and that he would have saved Steven Bergwijn’s goal in the 1-1 draw at Tottenham.
The former Manchester United midfielder did not mince his words in his assessment of the Spanish goalkeeper’s attempt to keep out Bergwijn’s first-half strike.
The Dutchman burst through the United defence and shot straight at De Gea, but it squirmed in and United needed an 81st-minute penalty from Bruno Fernandes to earn a deserved point.
Mourinho was pleased with his side’s performance, but felt they were hurt by a lack of attacking options on the bench, with Lucas Moura injured and Dele Alli suspended.
“I like my team performance, especially for 70 minutes,” he said. “I felt always in control, I felt that we gave them the kind of game they don’t like very much.
“But from minute 65, 70, I had some tired people on the pitch without the options to change them because the way we were playing our attacking players were fundamental to defensive intensity but also fundamental to transition attack.
“Without Lucas and Dele, we didn’t have these attacking players on the bench.”
