Manchester United first team coach Benni McCarthy says it would be a crime if a certain Red Devils star left the club in the next transfer window.
David de Gea's future has been up for debate in the last few months, with the Spanish shot-stopper's mistakes drawing some heavy criticism from pundits.

The Spaniard's current contract expires next month but he is reportedly set to sign a new two-year deal in the coming weeks.
Despite the some of his errors this season, McCarthy feels the 32-year-old deserves to remain at Old Trafford next season.
"He kept 17 clean sheets in the league. Yes, of course you're going to concede but to win the Golden Glove for yet another season is remarkable," the United coach told 947 Joburg.
"You see how difficult the league is. I understand everyone has a bad game here and there but it doesn't stop him being one of the best goalkeepers I have seen or worked with. He is unbelievable.
"I get to see first-hand more than what most people get to see. You see it only on a Saturday, you see a player make a mistake and the critics hit the roof.
"But I get to spend every single day with him and he is an unbelievable guy, a great lad, very intelligent and one of the best goalkeepers I have seen.
"It would be a crime if Man United lose a goalkeeper like David de Gea."
