David de Gea is the only Manchester United to have performed this season, says Teddy Sheringham


Despite Van Gaal spending £250 million whilst at the helm, Former United favourite Teddy Sheringham believes that only one player has done themselves justice this season - something that the Dutch boss must take responsibility for.

“You have to look at who has played well for Manchester United. Van Gaal’s job is to make the players play to the best of their capabilities,” he told Squawka.

 “David De Gea is probably the only one performing to his potential, and that’s not good for a football club that your goalkeeper is the only one doing that. It has to mean you are doing something wrong.”

Sheringham spent four seasons at Old Trafford, scoring 46 goals in all competitions.

Whilst at the club he lifted three Premier League trophies, an FA Cup, while he’ll always be remembered for his injury-time equaliser in the 1999 Champions League final which was followed up by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s winner just two minutes later.

And Sheringham insists that Jose Mourinho, who has been linked with the job since his departure from Chelsea in December, is the man to take United forward.

“There’s an awful lot of talk about Mourinho going there and I wouldn’t be averse to that,” he said.

“He has the belief that he deserves to be Manchester United manager and that’s a big part of the United job.”
