David de Gea makes admission about Marcus Rashford miss for Manchester United vs Newcastle
manchestereveningnews.co.ukDavid de Gea was certain that Marcus Rashford would score his missed last-gasp chance against Newcastle United. Manchester United were held to a goalless draw by the Magpies on Sunday and even though they were far from their best, Erik ten Hag's side created enough big chances to win the game.

Despite the dropped points, which have seen United fall three points behind fourth-placed Chelsea, De Gea was pleased with the defence for keeping a free-scoring Newcastle at bay. "It's massive," he said on how good the clean sheet is for the defence. "Newcastle have been playing really good football, scoring goals so to keep a clean sheet is big for us.
