As commented by Greg Stobart in his article about the ‘The five things we learned from the Community Shield’ on Goal.com, De Gea is simply not yet ready to play in the English top flight.Not too long ago, I remember having a large argument with a group of football enthusiasts as to how Spain could replicate their World Cup performance and their current world dominance in professional football for many more years to come. For every position, we seemed to argue about who would rightfully own their position in Russia 2018, except in between the sticks. De Gea, to us, owned that position. After all, he was the greatest Spanish youth prospect, AND he was getting a lot of play time with Athletico Madrid at the time. But Manchester United is different.
