Manchester United bossSir Alex Ferguson is standing by goalkeeper David De Gea after another error in their victory over West Bromwich Albion.
It does seem United have plenty of work ahead of them in order to get the 20-year-old battle-hardened and physically up to the demands of life in England.
However, Ferguson is adamant he will cope.
"He is young. He will learn. He will come through," said the United boss.
"David's concentration cost him the goal. It was a slack goal to lose but it is an experience for the lad.
"I couldn't believe he never got a free-kick in the second half. The aerial assault on him was ridiculous.
"It was the same when Peter Schmeichel came. They punished him in his first few games against Leeds and Wimbledon. They have him a real torrid time.
"In the second half David he was targeted a bit. Not necessarily physically but there were a lot of challenges that should have been free-kicks but the referee decided to play on."
