Ole Gunnar Solskjaer refuses to rule out dropping David de Gea after latest error

De David de Gea made costly mistakes in the FA Cup semi-final defeat to Chelsea.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer would not say whether under-fire Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea will start Wednesday's crucial clash with West Ham.

Just a month on from lauding the 29-year-old as the best in the world, the Red Devils' goalkeeping dilemma increased after the Spain international cost his side a shot at FA Cup success on Sunday.

De Gea did not cover himself in glory for Olivier Giroud's opener and was guilty of a shocker as a long-range Mason Mount strike somehow beat him, putting Chelsea in control of a semi-final they would win 3-1.

It was an alarming display that compounded some other glaring errors over the last 18 months, raising awkward questions about his status as number one ahead of Wednesday's vital clash with West Ham.

"But as a club we're always looking at promoting kids, adding players that are better than our squad anyway, so let's just focus on these next two first."

Fifth-placed United would take a big step towards a top-four finish if they beat West Ham in their penultimate match.

Leicester's 3-0 loss at Tottenham means Solskjaer's side are level with the fourth-placed Foxes, both on 62 points and a goal difference of 28, with the clubs going toe-to-toe at the King Power Stadium in Sunday's fascinating season finale.

"We've given ourselves a great chance and it is, as you say, squeaky bum time," Solskjaer said. "I'm looking forward to it and I'm pretty sure the players are as well."
