"Spain Under-21 keeper De Gea appeared weak when balls were floated into the box during the opening-day victory at The Hawthorns."

It's part of the game. I don't get this, does Ferguson want the referee to stop the hight balls from Bolton?

He'll never turn in to a good keeper if he's going to be getting protection all the time, he needs to adjust to the physical, English game!

"He [De Gea] is bound to get better protection than he did against West Brom," said United boss Ferguson.
"There is nothing wrong with that. That is part of the challenge. Each game that comes along is a new experience for him.
"He actually did very well at West Brom in the sense of dealing with it"

Yet again the beeb is trying to make a story out of nothing
