Manchester United: David de Gea's 5 Biggest Mistakes
Steve Kean's Blackburn Rovers defeated Manchester United 3-2.

This article will chronicle de Gea's five biggest mistakes for Manchester United.
Community Shield: Manchester City (7/8/2011)
1 of 6What a bad first impression David de Gea made.
Here's an interesting statistic from Opta:
"11—David de Gea conceded more goals to shots from outside the area than any goalkeeper in Liga BBVA this season. Coveted.
"
English Premier League: West Bromwich Albion (14/8/2011)
2 of 6David de Gea must have a confidence issue because I watched this kid look like a superstar for Atlético Madrid.
One of his best attributes was his concentration, yet in the span of seven days, that so-called strength failed him twice.
English Premier League: Manchester City (23/10/2011)
3 of 6David De Gea made a solitary save against Manchester City.
He didn't help Manchester United's cause when he let Sergio Agüero's shot go through his legs.
De Gea's positioning was all over the place, but then again, Manchester United's defense was away on leave that day.
UEFA Champions League: Benfica (22/11/2011)
4 of 6What was David de Gea thinking?
Manchester United had just stolen momentum with Darren Fletcher's goal, only for de Gea to forget that Bruno César was not a Manchester United player.
UEFA Champions League: Basel (7/12/2011)
5 of 6For the first goal, why didn't David de Gea just pick up the ball instead of poking it away, which then led to Marco Streller scoring?
For the second goal, de Gea's reaction is unusually slow. So slow that he dives after the ball is already past him.
