But on one of the pics I've seen, he doesn't look nearly 20.

he looks like almunia in this cartoon.

Let someone stand next to him who's 20 so we can compare
I'm 20, and he looks way older than me or any of my mates. Although, I think the height plays a big part in that.
David De Gea has the best saves-to-shots percentage in the league so far this season (85.7%)
Everyone looks like they've been replaced with their Mexican equivalent. Especially Nani.
Can't understannd why Fergie was never in for Roy Race he's been fantastic for years
Because he's a cartoon character mate.
Jesus. When did City sign Des Walker? Worst likenesses ever.
And Richards looks like MLK Jnr.
Feel sorry for the lad today, not one of those goals was his fault. Woeful defense.
His reaction to Silva's goal sums it up, where the feck was the defence?
You almost wish we hadnt scored, the players just seemed to switch off after that... Altho it was probably just them being tired after playing half of the match down to 10
Has the right to exercise every single swear word he has learned in English today.
how didnt he save the 6th goal, it was right next to him
Yup. Feel proper sorry for him. Not much he could do about any goal.
I just hope everyone in the dressing room will pick him up and make him understand that it wasn't his fault today. The guy is only 20 after all so I say let him play the Aldershot game just to get over this
he was hung out to dry today.
Judging by his reactions, he already knows that most, if not all of the goals weren't his fault.
Here's how it happened:
- was put under no pressure from crosses.
- one decent save with his right leg.
- couldn't do nowt with four of the goals
- could have saved Silva's nutmeg.
- could have and probably should have saved the Dzeko sixth.
otherwise just another keeper in a 6-1 gubbing.

Schmeichel surrended 11 goals in back-to-back matches... and that was with a full side in one match though Keane was sent off early in the second match (down 1-0).
Work in progress.
I think so. I wonder if the job is too big for such a young keeper?
He was at error for both of dzeko goals. The rest no keeper was going to save.
The last couple he would of saved in the right mindset. Sadly, after 4 unanswered, he lost his concentration and will. He's only 20 - playing as a keeper takes years to master.
Hope Fergie rings up VDS to have a word with De Gea and let him know it'll be alright.

Dzeko's first was very avoidable with that spastic moment with Rio... and with that. if that didn't happen (the fourth goal) i think it would of ended 3-1?
Blaming De Gea for a couple of goals 
it never ends.
it never ends.I felt sorry for him.
He would have to be superman to do all the defending and goalkeeping on his own. We left him helpless against their attackers.

I feel for him. He'll surely be dropped for Aldershot Town. That will hurt his confidence.
We've got some right idiotic fans
Blaming De Gea for a couple of goals
It doesn't matter if he's 20 or 40 ... if your're to be considered top quality a keeper has to do more than what he did for a couple of the goals.
Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't be having a go at him in the dressing room as I likely would with a few others. He'd get a zero rating from me - neither better nor worse than was to be expected of his play.
Completely agree.
That would be madness - I thought I saw more convincing signs of him being a United player today than any other game actually. We should definitely persevere - last thing we need now is uncertainty about who is our first choice keeper and a period of inconsistency in selection there.
Fergie has to back him IMO.
I'd hardly class it as being dropped when he won't play in the Carling Cup.
They'll be no danger that he's dropped in midweek because of his performance today ... if he's not playing it'll simply be rotation.
Whether he would saved a couple more goals wouldn't have changed anything
Jesus Christ people. I wasn't being serious. fecks sake, some of you lot have zero understanding of sarcasm.
why are we even discussing which ones he should have saved? pointless. the premise is that his defense let him down. I just hope the lads can pick him up because that was flat out embarrassing. Poor kid
Not trying to be nitpick here but he should really give an earful to the defenders at times for slacking off. So far, he is being way to nice to the back four.
To think that Fergie said things would get easier for him at Old Trafford! The poor sod. I've never seen a keeper of ours have so much to do in 5/6 home games.
