David Moyes praised David de Gea’s performance as his West Ham side suffered a narrow defeat at Old Trafford.
The Manchester United goalkeeper was on fire, especially in the second half, making some incredible saves.
West Ham had United under pressure for the last ten minutes, using their physicality to play directly.
De Gea was tested several times and came out with flying colors.
After the match, a frustrated Moyes said:
“David de Gea was fantastic. We know how good a goalkeeper he is. The two he saved have been mundane.
“I’m happy for him; He’s a great guy.”

Ten Hag will be delighted to see De Gea adapting to his system.
The Spaniard seems comfortable on the ball, playing from behind.
His distribution has drastically improved and he is also seen coming out of his lane more often.
It remains to be seen if De Gea can extend these performances throughout the season.
Ten Hag could be looking for a long-term replacement, but if the Spaniard continues to perform, the United manager will have a tough decision to make.
The 30-year-old has been one of United’s standout players this season.
