As we all know David de Gea, a Spanish footballer who plays for Manchester United as a goalkeeper who has been dropped as Manchester United’s favorite goalkeeper, may require laser eye surgery to correct a problem with his vision.

Spaniard De Gea has suffered with a state that affects the long-range vision in one eye since childhood and frequently wears eyeglasses, switching to contact lenses when he plays.

The Guardian newspaper state that De Gea has been at fault for as many as six to nine goals in his first five months at Old Trafford and although there have been times when his goalkeeping has been outstanding, his first season in the Premier League has been a complicated one.

“He is only 21. His potential is gigantic and there is no suspicion he will be United’s top goalkeeper at some point. We hope you’ll get well soon.
