‘I don’t know what he’s doing’: Robbie Savage SLAMS Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea for being bizarrely lobbed by Loic Bade’s shoulder for Sevilla’s second goal in Europa League quarter-final second leg
- Manchester United have been eliminated from the Europa League after losing to Sevilla
- They conceded right at the start of the second half through an effort from Loic Bade
- Robbie Savage thought goalkeeper David de Gea “should do better” with the goal
Robbie Savage has criticized Manchester United keeper David de Gea for failing to save Sevilla’s second goal in the Europa League quarter-final.
The Red Devils are out of the tournament after losing the first leg 3-0 in Seville.
Loic Bade shouldered the ball in off the crossbar, but it moved slowly and just above De Gea when he went in.
After the goal, Robbie Savage said in BT Sport’s commentary: ‘Such a terrible start. You look at David de Gea, I don’t know what he’s doing, it’s right above him.
“I’m not sure he’s doing well enough there. It comes from his shoulder, from the bar to the inside, I think the goalkeeper has to do better there.

The goal put United 4-2 behind, giving them a mountain to climb in Sevilla.
After leading 2-0 in the first leg at Old Trafford, they scored two own goals late in the game and fell behind in the opening stages on Thursday after another error by the Gea gave Youssef En-Nesyri an uncomplicated finish.
Even the introduction of star striker Marcus Rashford at half-time didn’t help as they eventually lost 3-0 on the night after another goal from En-Nesyri.
They hope for a better performance in their FA Cup semi-final against Brighton on Sunday.
