United can still end the season on a winning note with a couple of crucial encounters ahead.
Earlier, Newcastle legend and football pundit Alan Shearer had urged Manchester United to bring back Dean Henderson from Sheffield United and make him as their number one goalkeeper.
"It's hard for a keeper to make amends, apart from David making two or three fantastic saves after," the Red Devils boss stated post the match.
David De Gea has drawn flak in the wake of the 1-1 draw at Tottenham Hotspur. A powerful drive from Steven Bergwijn gave Spurs the lead.
United's players surrounded referee Craig Pawson midway through the first-half on Sunday after Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk challenged goalkeeper David de Gea.
The Premier League era has seen Liverpool registering only five away victories against Manchester United, with the last win at Old Trafford coming in 2014.
De Gea was forced to move out of the ground owing to his injury in the 60th minute of Spain’s Euro 2020 Qualifier match against Sweden which finished 1-1.
The Spanish star who recently signed a new deal with Manchester United amid speculations that he may leave the club stated that fans of the Red Devils have helped the side in more ways than the players had even expected.
During his time with the club, he has won the Premier League, the FA Cup, the League Cup, the UEFA Europa League and the Community Shield.
The star shot-stopper was gravitating a lot of transfer interest from other clubs like Juventus and Real Madrid since his current contract is set to expire in a few months time.
