Mark Bosnich: 'Manchester United's David De Gea is not arrogant'

Former Manchester United goalkeeper Mark Bosnich has hit back at criticism of David De Gea following the Spaniard's error in United's 1-1 draw with Everton on Sunday.

The 29-year-old was at fault for Everton's opener as his attempted clearance was charged down by Dominic Calvert-Lewin, and the ball cannoned off the striker's outstretched leg into the United net.

Bosnich, who made 35 appearances for the Red Devils in the 1999-2000 season, has jumped to the defence of the United keeper.

Speaking to Sky Sports News, Bosnich said: "It wasn't a good error but in terms of being arrogant, unless you know the person 100 per cent I don't really think you can make that type of call.

"In terms of the goalkeeping position, there's a very fine line between arrogance and confidence. Yes, it was a poor mistake but he came back from it very well to be fair."

De Gea has made 393 appearances for United since his arrival from Atletico Madrid.
