Unusual reporting in England from the Manchester United sector. David de Gea is likely to be out for the next month, according to the Manchester Evening News and the Daily Mail. The reason – personal matters.
The Red Devils goalkeeper is uninjured, and meanwhile club officials are not revealing the reasons, as has manager Ola Gunnar Solskjaer, who said: “It’s a private and personal matter, it will take as long as it takes.” De Hae will likely miss six games, including the Europa League quarter-finals against AC Milan.
Whoever will stand between the posts at this time as the first goalkeeper will be Dean Henderson. United are preparing the Englishman to be the senior man between the posts during the Spaniard’s absence, and he may stand in the gate in a derby against the table leader, Manchester City. So far he has mostly served as a backup and stood in cup games. “He’s ready,” Soleshiar said.
