Much comparisons have been made between Manchester United’s new Spanish keeper David De Gea and former Italian keeper Massimo Taibi who had a nightmare 3 games with United after signing for £4.5m in 1999. He played 4 in all for the Red Devils.
However Peter Schmeichel didn’t have the best of starts at United either and we know what he did at the club. Taibi also had a Man of the Match performance on his debut, a 3-2 win at Anfield nonetheless, but most people just remember him for his error shown below against Southampton. Taibi also shares a record in Serie A for scoring a goal, with only two keepers ever to achieve this feat.
