Manchester United supporters are getting tired of David de Gea’s mistakes costing them points in the Premier League’s top four and it seems some of his teammates are too.
De Gea’s latest mistake left him unable to stop West Ham striker. Said Benrahma’s weak long-range effort as the ball hit his hand, but still trickled into the net.
The Hammers would go on to secure a 1-0 win that virtually guarantees their Premier League safety and further drag United into a Champions League qualifying race with Liverpool, who are just one point behind them.
Benrahma’s strike in the 27th minute devastated United supporters, players and Erik ten Hag, with De Gea also appearing to understand his mistake as he lay face down in the turf.
Marcus Rashford couldn’t hide his disappointment at the goalkeeper’s latest blunder as he turned to Ten Hag and an exasperated expression with his hands on his head in disbelief at what had happened.

Ten Hag looks back as he tries to consolidate De Gea’s mistake and plan a way back into the game for his struggling side who failed to find an equaliser.
Eagle-eyed spectators who saw Rashford’s reaction believe it shows frustration at De Gea building up in the Man United dressing room.
One fan posted online: “That was my reaction too. I could not believe it. It’s almost as if De Gea spilled it on purpose, the ball was so slow.
Another added: “It’s demoralizing for players when goalkeepers make a mess of what appears to be a routine save.”
However, Ten Hag supported his goalkeeper who came under fire after the game and revealed that he wants to extend De Gea’s tenure at Old Trafford.
The Spaniard made his 540th appearance between the sticks for United on Sunday, surpassing Alex Stepney’s previous 45-year record.

After the match, Ten Hag resisted suggestions to look for a new number one.
“We want him to stay and we want him to extend his contract,” said Ten Hag.
He has the most clean sheets in the Premier League. Without him we wouldn’t be here in this position.
“I believe there are no worries. It happens. As a team you have to deal with it, show character, be resilient, bounce back and that’s what this team will do,” he added.
