Keeper De Gea to be starter for Man United against Basel
Manchester, Sep 11 (IANS) Manchester United head coach Jose Mourinho confirmed on Monday that Spanish goalkeeper David De Gea would be his side’s starter for the UEFA Champions League opener against Swiss football outfit FC Basel here on Tuesday.
“I think in this moment, David is playing very well and is very confident. I will go with David tomorrow again,” the Portuguese coach said at the pre-match press conference, reports Efe.
Mourinho counted on Argentine goalkeeper Sergio Romero, substitute of De Gea, throughout the last season’s successful edition of the UEFA Europa League, but the Portuguese coach stressed that he was doing what he thinks “is the best for the team”.
On Basel, the Portuguese coach recalled that he already faced the Swiss side when he was in charge of Chelsea in the 2013-2014 season; when the English club fell 0-1 and 1-2.
However, Mourinho added that Manchester United are strong, confident and had enough quality to win the Tuesday’s game, although he predicted it to be a difficult one.

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
