Ian Wright has claimed that "getting bodies around" David de Gea could lead to further errors from the Manchester United goalkeeper.
The Spaniard has been heavily criticised over the past few days for his role in West Ham's win at the London Stadium on Sunday. De Gea was at fault for Said Benrahma's goal in the 27th minute of the contest, with the Algerian's tame shot from all of 25 yards somehow trickling in despite the United No.1 getting a hand to the ball.
The debate surrounding De Gea's future at United has once again come to the fore following the error, with MEN Sport understanding some within the club are unsure of his position as first-choice shot-stopper.

Erik ten Hag revealed after the West Ham match that he still hopes for De Gea to sign a new deal, though he stopped short of confirming his spot as United's No.1 for next season.
Just about every pundit in the country has had their say on De Gea over the past few days, and now Wright has given his thoughts, with the Premier League legend revealing how he would approach playing against United with the Spaniard in goal.
“At some stage, Manchester United are going to have to look at that position,” Wright told Premier League Productions.
“The concentration just isn’t there at times. It is a priority position for them? Maybe it’s not. But that goal could cost them the Champions League.
“Whenever you get bodies around him he gets very, very shaky. I still can’t understand why teams don’t put in-swinging corners in to him at every single opportunity. He’s never comfortable in that situation.”
