It has not been an easy week for David de Gea. The Spanish goalkeeper was singled out for his performance in the FA Cup semi-final, but the former Atletico Madrid goalie has received support from the Leicester keeper.
Kasper Schmeichel says that people are being cruel with De Gea. Leicester and United face each other in a huge game on Sunday.
The former Danish goalkeeper recalled that whoever plays in net always gets the most criticism. "Goalkeepers are going to get scrutinised. For me, the important thing is context. The kind of scrutiny he's getting at the moment is very harsh."
"There are no goalkeepers analysing on TV or in papers so I feel the criticism he gets is very unfair. "They'll go into deep technical things which, with the greatest respect, they don't actually know the truth. To just hammer someone the way he sometimes does get hammered, I find is unfair," he added.
Without doubt, David de Gea will appreciate that someone has come out in his defence. Someone who knows how difficult it is to be a goalkeeper.
