Manchester United goaltender, David de Gea has admitted his mistakes that cost his team three points against Brentford in match day two of the Premier League on Saturday.
David De Gea was at fault for the opening two goals.
After letting Dasilva’s shot go through him for the first, he played Christian Eriksen into trouble for the second on a very unhappy return for the Dane to the club that helped him resurrect his career.
Spanish goalkeeper said “I think I cost my team three points today, to be honest,” De Gea told Sky Sports.
“After the first mistake and the second, it was very tough for the team to keep playing. It was a horrible day.
“We should react better but at the moment we are living now it’s tough every time we concede a goal. I should have saved the shot and probably the result will be different.
“We are not like other teams that concede one goal and they win 5-1 or 6-1. It doesn’t matter if they make a mistake. This is why I think today I cost three points. Because it was an easy save and it was 1-0 for them and I feel already the team was going down, down, down.”
Meanwhile, United boss, Erik ten Hag suggested he would not change his style after a second successive defeat but admitted his team had been “naive.”
“I don’t want to play from the back when it’s not possible,” he added.
“It was naive how we played today. You have to play more direct.
“We attracted them, the space was high up the pitch, you have to do that option but that is what we didn’t do. We will learn, we will have to learn, it’s not good enough and it’s not the level and the standard of how we want to act.”
