West Ham star names the one Manchester United player that always frustrates him
West Ham star Michail Antonio has admitted Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea always leaves him frustrated whenever West Ham visit Old Trafford.
De Gea produced several saves in Manchester United’s 1-0 victory over West Ham last weekend.
“De Gea, argh. It’s so frustrating. Some of the saves he’s been putting up are unbelievable,” he told the Footballer’s Football Podcast.
“He’s done that to us for the last three years we’ve gone up there. We have had so many chances and he’s just decided to turn up for our games. He was unbelievable.
“They played well defensively. Martinez was quality, he was a rock, Harry Maguire came in and did well – with all the comments – but he was solid.
“De Gea, over the last few years, playing against him, he has pulled out some worldies against me.
“I think it was in lockdown and I had three opportunities against him, back stick header, pulled it out, unbelievable save. Left foot shot, edge of the box, going just inside top bins and he’s finger tipped it over the bar.
“Next one was five yards out I hit him just to the left of him, and he’s still managed to get something on it!
“There’s a few games where he has done this to me and he’s really annoying me, not going to lie!”
