De Gea still the best goalkeeper says McCarthy
McCarthy still believes David De Gea is still one of the best goalkeepers in the world regardless of his errors this season.
Speaking to 947 Joburg, which was reported by Daily Mail, McCarthy said, “He kept 17 clean sheets in the league. Yes, of course, you're going to concede but to win the Golden Glove for yet another season is remarkable.
“You see how difficult the league is. I understand everyone has a bad game here and there but it doesn't stop him being one of the best goalkeepers I have seen or worked with. He is unbelievable.
“I get to see first-hand more than what most people get to see. You see it only on a Saturday, you see a player make a mistake and the critics hit the roof.
“But I get to spend every single day with him and he is an unbelievable guy, a great lad, very intelligent and one of the best goalkeepers I have seen. It would be a crime if Man United lose a goalkeeper like David de Gea.”
Man United in search of another keeper

Harry Maguire tops list of Man United players set to be released
Harry Maguire could finally leave Manchester United this summer despite being tied to Old Trafford until 2025, It is understood both player and club would reach a mutual agreement.
He was also criticised for failing to react quickly to Ilkay Gundogan's winning goal for Manchester City in Saturday's FA Cup final.
When asked if De Gea would be at Man United next season, Ten Hag said, “Yes, but I will not say he'll always be my No 1 because, in a club like Man United, there must be competition in all positions. You can't do it with 11 players, It is impossible. You need double positions.”
