Let us start off by saying that David De Gea has been a legend for Manchester United and fans will never forget some of the amazing saves he's made over the years. However, the 3-0 loss to Sevilla on Thursday showcased that his time is surely up.

Two of the goals, and arguably all three, were because of poor play from De Gea. Yes, Harry Maguire deserves plenty of blame as well. However, United is now out of the Europa League tournament, a tourney they should have won. De Gea can't be the starter next year.

It's time for Erik Ten Hag and Co. to start looking at suitable replacements. De Gea simply isn't cutting it anymore.
