David de Gea was the first Manchester United player to emerge from the dressing room after the Brentford debacle. De Gea requested to speak to the media to accept responsibility for his mistakes after one of the worst results in the club's modern history.
It was brave of De Gea to speak first and he told Sky Sports that he cost United the three points. "After the first mistake and the second, it was very tough for the team to get playing.
It was a horrible day," he said. Brentford's first goal should have been a routine save for De Gea but the ball trickled through his hands.
De Gea also gifted the second goal with a hospital pass for Christian Eriksen. De Gea has never been overly comfortable with the ball at his feet and that was highlighted again that afternoon.
