MANCHESTER UNITED star David de Gea has committed the most errors leading to a goal across all competitions since the start of last season.
This comes after United were knocked out of the Europa League after losing to Sevilla in the quarter-finals.
De Gea was at fault for all three goals on Thursday at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan.
For the first goal, the goalkeeper and Harry Maguire got into a mix-up, which allowed Youssef En-Nesyri to open the scoring after just eight minutes.
The Spain international was then beaten by a looping header from Loic Bade just after the second half started, in which TV pundit Robbie Savage claimed he could have done better.
The 32-year-old then followed this up with some bad control allowing En-Nesyri to net his second of the game in the 92nd minute.

This comes amid ongoing contract talks between De Gea and United, with the Spaniard’s deal running out in June.
Reports suggest the two parties have agreed on a new four-year deal that includes a major pay cut.
But there’s also a catch in the agreement as it involves highly-incentivised terms for the keeper.
However, shocking stats reveal no Premier League player has made more mistakes leading to a goal across all competitions than De Gea.
