De Gea made a mistake that led to MU's goal against Tottenham but was lucky after that when Bruno Fernandes saved him and the Red Devils once again. However, Roy Keane felt very hot-tempered, even wanting to " give" De Gea a punch. If counting from the 2018 season to now, De Gea has made 7 direct mistakes leading to goals for the opponent, a record in the Premier League. After a wave of criticism targeted De Gea, Solskjaer spoke up to defend his student. But affirming that De Gea is still the world's number 1 goalkeeper seems a bit too much. Solskjaer's statement made goalkeepers who are considered the best in the world at the moment such as Oblak, Alisson Becker, Ter Stegen, Neuer feel "shocked" and should probably think about changing careers. According to current valuations, De Gea is worth about 60 million Euros, while Oblak, Alisson Becker, Ter Stegen are all much higher than De Gea. If only counting the Premier League, De Gea is not even in the Top 10 goalkeepers with the best clean sheet in history. In the current season, De Gea has only had 8 clean sheets, while the top 3 goalkeepers with the most clean sheets, Alisson Becker, Nick Pope, Dean Henderson, have all had 11 clean sheets. Especially since Dean Henderson is currently the goalkeeper of MU's own loan to Sheffield. Solskjaer himself must also admit that Dean Henderson is the future of MU. The race for 5th place to qualify for the Champions League next season is fierce between MU, Sheffield, Tottenham, Wolves, so if De Gea continues to make mistakes, MU may jump out of this race and De Gea may even jump out of the No. 1 position. At 0:00 tonight, MU will host Dean Henderson's Sheffield in the fight for 5th place.
Is De Gea still the world's number 1 goalkeeper?

After De Gea's mistake in the match against Tottenham, Solskjaer immediately defended his student from criticism, but it seemed like a funny statement this time.
