'Erik ten Hag was the problem' - David de Gea saves TWO penalties for Fiorentina against AC Milan to leave Man Utd fans adamant that ex-Red Devils goalkeeper is '100 times better' than Andre Onana

De Gea had a stunning performance against Milan in Serie A on Sunday evening, saving two penalties as his side won 2-1 in Florence. Both Theo Hernandez and Tammy Abraham missed from the spot, with De Gea twice standing tall from 12 yards. Moise Kean also missed a penalty for Fiorentina. It is a remarkable turnaround; at Manchester United, De Gea only saved seven penalties across the span of 12 years, but some Red Devils fans are now feeling nostalgic about the Spaniard, who wasn't offered the chance to extend his contract at Old Trafford beyond June 2023.

WHAT THE FANS ARE SAYING

Before Sunday's clash, the last goalkeeper to save two penalties in one game in Serie A was Federico Marchetti back in 2016 during Carpi's clash with Lazio.

DID YOU KNOW?

After the international break, Fiorentina play Lecce in Serie A, with De Gea likely to get the nod in goal again. They are currently 11th in Serie A, but will hope to start pushing for the European places after a huge win against Milan, who were one of the pre-season favourites for the title.
