Other concerns were raised as part of the detailed ESPN piece, which reported that David de Gea and Dean Henderson, who were both ruled out of the Europa League Final, will leave Manchester United...
ESPN discovered that, while Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes in De Gea, there are some worrying signs surrounding the Spaniard.
According to sources, the 30-year-"laid-back old's personality" has contributed to the lapses in concentration that have resulted in costly mistakes this season.
Manchester United fans will be irritated by ESPN's other discovery about De Gea's training mindset, which adds that Solskjaer and the coaching staff struggle to "motivate" the superstar stopper.
It has even been suggested that the competition from Dean Henderson – who is now firmly entrenched in United's No.1 shirt – has ‘done little' to motivate De Gea.
De Gea started the first two-thirds of the season at Old Trafford, but he was forced to retire when he returned to his native Spain to celebrate the birth of his first child in early March.
Henderson has started the vast majority of the team's games since, though Solskjaer has used De Gea in the Europa League quarter and semi-finals, as well as a couple of top-flight matches.
ESPN insists that De Gea is the ‘better technical keeper' at Old Trafford, but recent speculation, combined with these findings, suggests that the star's time as No.1 is coming to an end.
Concerns about De Gea's mindset, particularly his focus and competitiveness, may frustrate fans, as the Spaniard is the club's highest earner, earning £375,000 per week, according to the Telegraph.
