Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Former Tottenham goalkeeper, Paul Robinson has criticized Spain manager, Luis Enrique for omitting Manchester United goalkeeper, David de Gea from the national team squad.<\/p>\n

Enrique believes Enrique did not select De Gea because of his poor distribution skills, adding that the former Barcelona coach wants to play a certain way.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Football Insider, Robinson said Enrique\u2019s decision was unfair as De Gea was outstanding last season for the Red Devils.<\/p>\n

Enrique had left De Gea out of Spain\u2019s 24 man squad for the ongoing UEFA Nations League.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have heard it said about De Gea before. Personally, I don\u2019t think his distribution is that bad. It\u2019s not one of the best, but it has improved and gotten better in recent years. Luis Enrique wants to play a certain way,\u201d Robinson said.<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cGoalkeepers are not there just to keep the ball out of the net anymore. They have to be an extra outfield player if you like. It really is a matter of personal choice and personal opinion.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think De Gea has been top class this season. I certainly wouldn\u2019t leave him out of the Spain team because of doubts over his distribution. De Gea will be gutted because he\u2019s had such a good season at Man United. He\u2019s been the best player in a struggling team.\u201d<\/p>\n
