Manchester United goalkeeper, David de Gea believes someone has put a “curse” on Red Devils as the team is yet to find balance in recent years.
United haven’t won a trophy since 2017, with the club lagging behind the likes of Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea at the top of English football.
De Gea has been at the club since 2011, having played under Sir Alex Ferguson during the manager’s final two years, and the goalkeeper says he can’t quite put his finger on what’s gone wrong under the legendary manager’s successors.
“I think someone has put a curse on us or something,” De Gea told El Pais. “The truth is I don’t know what’s going on, I really don’t.
“People always ask me and we talk about it as team-mates and we just say ‘we don’t know what’s happening’.
“We should have competed for more trophies, bigger titles, but I just don’t know why this team doesn’t function.”
