Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson feels rookie keeper David De Gea is not getting the same protection from officials away from home as he will at Old Trafford.
The Reds big-money signing from Atletico Madrid has blundered in each of his opening two games for the club, but is set to make his home debut against Tottenham on Monday.
"He coped with the crosses into the box at West Brom with no problem - he just didn't get any protection," Ferguson claimed.
"You saw the challenges - an elbow in the face and a boy went under him and he didn't get the free-kick.
"It's disappointing when you don't get the protection, but he's at home against Spurs on Monday and it won't be a problem.
"It's just away from home where he might get subjected to that."
"But I have no problems with him, none at all. We have never mentioned the criticism this week that David got after the West Brom game.
"He's fine, he's done his training - there's no problem."
