His recent mistakes, against Lionel Messi in the Champions League and Leroy Sane in the Manchester derby, have led to calls from some quarters for De Gea to be dropped from the starting line-up, with Argentine Sergio Romero waiting for his chance on the United bench.

Marcos Alonso capitalised on David de Gea’s error as United’s top four hopes faded
But Parlour insists the Spaniard is still a world class keeper and he’s urged Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to stick with his number one.
“David de Gea has been magnificent over the last few seasons,†said the Arsenal legend on Monday’s Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast.
“There has been many, many occasions where he has saved Manchester United.
“Go back to the Spurs game at Wembley – what a performance. He kept United in that game and obviously they won in the end, and it was because of De Gea.

“But recently in the last few games he has made some really bad mistakes.
“Everyone makes mistakes in games, forwards miss penalties or open goals, but when a goalkeeper makes a mistake quite often it’s a goal.
“I don’t think they should rest him. He’s massive for Manchester United and they’ve got to keep him.â€
Parlour has also told United to resolve the uncertainly surrounding De Gea’s long-term future at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils have triggered an extension to his contract which means his deal now runs until 2020.

De Gea also gifted Lionel Messi his second goal in Barcelona’s Champions League win
But the ex-Gunner says the club should try to convince the Spaniard to pen a new deal.
He added: “I know Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is going to look at his squad in the summer and they need to bring more players in and need to get rid of quite a few players too, but surely David de Gea won’t be one of them.
“He’s still one of the best goalkeepers in the world and they should try to get him to sign a new contract.â€
