I think this season was the "one more season" for De Gea.
He's 26 and is just at the right stage of his career for a bumper 5 year deal at Real Madrid with Casillas no longer on the scene. I would surprised if it's not a done deal at a price Utd are happy with.

Big loss. To my mind he and Neuer are the best by some little way. Hugo's distribution is awful in comparison. With so much ordinariness in your team, a really fantastic goalkeeper makes a huge difference to my mind.
 
Shaw starts. How will Jose tell him how to play when he's on the wrong side, or does he play right back in one half and left back in the other?

Harsh, but the ref was convinced from the outset. He seems to think Larsson lost it and lunged recklessly with studs raised.
There wasn't much contact so it didn't look too bad, but it's all about intent in the ref's mind, I think.
 
Sunderland deserve to be bottom but goodness, they just can't get any luck, can they? Conceding when they're starting to look dangerous at the other end, then not getting a pen, followed by a soft red.
 
The angry one's pre-match interview centred on all the terrible decisions that have gone against United's. You can see why.

The Video Ref is gonna get some in the FA Cup next season if he's still in a job.
 
And now it's 2-1 to Leicester, who went behind after 15 seconds.
Robles is ****, isn't he?
 
2-2. Lukaku. Nice cross by Barkley.
Have either of these sides ever considered defending?
 
I'm not normally that bothered by this sort of thing, but why didn't Leicester wear their away kit today?
Just seems unnecessarily annoying, to me.
 
What a balls up by Barkley. Should've been a tap-in, but he lets Schmeichel get back.
And it doesn't matter, as Jagielka scores from the resultant corner! <laugh>
3-2 and it's not even half-time yet. Interesting game, but the defending's awful.

Edit: I wonder if Utd would be interested in Schmeichel, if De Gea leaves?
