Southampton FC v Manchester United - Premier League
The Spaniard is probably having his worst season in United colours, but there is no denying his qualities. Most of the blame for his present situation has to fall upon Manchester United's faulty defence. However, if there was any goalkeeper you would rather have to defend the goal behind such a leaky defence, few people would look past the mercurial Spaniard.

De Gea has already conceded 26 goals in the league, but some of his saves this season have still been World Class. In fact, the Red Devils would have been in further mess had it not been for the Spaniard. Granted, his slip against Arsenal was uncharacteristic, but United's prolonged sorry run has dented De Gea's confidence and has also affected his concentration. Perhaps a deserved rest ahead of the visit to Anfield will be the perfect way for him to regenerate his senses and calm his nerves.
Against Liverpool, Manchester United will most certainly concede again. However, one can be certain that De Gea will be inspired and raring to show Alisson who the real boss of the Premier League is. The Spaniard will be key to Manchester United getting points from Anfield.

Deepungsu holds a PG degree in Microbiology and an MBA degree in Total Quality Management. He has an extensive two-decade long writing experience, which includes a decade of sports blogging. His writing prowess has even led his work getting cited on the legendary Franz Beckenbauer's Wikipedia page.
Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
