Man United have overcome the Leicester City test in order to secure Champions League football next season but according to Roy Keane, the Red Devils should look to replace David De Gea if they wish to challenge for the Premier League title.

David De Gea has really seen a dip in form this season and the once-reliable keeper has made a series of really novice mistakes which have cost Man United points. And according to the Man United legend, Solskjaer needs to look beyond the Spaniard.

“You say [I’ve been] outspoken, I’ve never been a big fan of his, it’s as simple as that,” Keane said on Sky Sports, via Express. “He makes far too many mistakes and big mistakes that cost United points.

“So we talk about recruitment, it’s obviously a difficult part of the game, but that’s just my opinion.

“I think if United want to get back challenging for league titles then they need a better goalkeeper.

“They need a change, they’ve done it before. I don’t know what the big song and dance is sometimes about a goalkeeper.

“Man United have been doing it for years, a striker’s dropped or left or sold, midfielders, defenders, but for some reason with the goalkeeper they think you have to stick with a goalkeeper a bit longer than others because of something he did two or three years ago.

“The game doesn’t work like that, we’ve seen Liverpool get onto another level when they improve the goalkeeper, we see Chelsea unhappy with their goalkeeper – what’s the big deal?

“If he’s not doing it and he’s making mistakes, then you make the change. People talk about recruitment, go out and get another goalkeeper.

“There are good goalkeepers out there – go and get him if you think he’s going to be getting Man United back to challenging for league titles.”

Many pundits have urged the Manchester United manager to call back Dean Henderson from Sheffield United but we do not think the Norwegian boss will be too eager to take such a big call this summer.

Henderson will undoubtedly be the next United No 1 but we firmly believe that the OT outfit will let him remain on loan at Bramall Lane next season as well.
