<\/p>\n

Manchester United manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, has made it clear he has no intention of dropping David De Gea from this weekend\u2019s game against Chelsea, despite his loss of form.<\/p>\n

De Gea has committed a succession of errors in recent weeks including two which led to goals in United\u2019s 2-0 derby defeat to Manchester City at Old Trafford on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Uncertainty over the Spaniard\u2019s future has been cited many times as reason for his loss of focus and form.<\/p>\n

But ahead of United\u2019s top-four clash with Chelsea, Solskjaer said he had not considered dropping De Gea, but warned the 28-year-old to put the uncertainty over his future out of his mind for the final three games of the season.<\/p>\n

Asked if he had considered dropping De Gea, Solskjaer told a press conference on Friday: \u201cNo. Not at all, because I trust David and he\u2019s, for me, been the best player Unietd have had last six or seven years, absolutely outstanding.<\/p>\n

\u201cGoing through touch patches is part of a footballer\u2019s career and David will be fine.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked if De Gea\u2019s future had played a part in his recent dip in form, Solskjaer said: \u201cThat\u2019s something you have to deal with as a footballer.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a situation, but David\u2019s coming in every single day doing what he should be doing.\u201d\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
