Paul Scholes: "Sloppy" David de Gea a problem for Manchester United

Paul Scholes has again questioned the quality of David de Gea, claiming that the goalkeeper's "sloppy" performances are becoming a real problem for Manchester United.

Spain international De Gea produced another below-par display in Sunday's 3-1 win over Newcastle United.

Despite United's poor clean sheet record this term, the 30-year-old is still preferred to Dean Henderson between the sticks.

However, Scholes believes it could be time for his former club to change keeper.

"Yeah, [the clean sheet record is] not good enough," he told BT Sport. "We mentioned it before the game - I think that is the biggest weakness in this team.

"David again, so sloppy - it's becoming a real problem. You need to have confidence in your goalkeeper. Can you catch this short corner? He punches it into a really bad area."

Only eight teams in the Premier League have conceded more goals than the 32 United have let in this season.
