United stopper getting better and better.
Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea has been winning more plaudits as the weeks go by thanks to his monstrous performances to virtually win games all by himself this season.

In particular, there have been two games this season where the Spaniard has excelled himself – in United’s 2-1 win over Arsenal, and this weekend’s 3-0 victory over Liverpool.
De Gea made a number of splendid saves in both matches to ensure the Red Devils took home all three points, and even put himself in the record books for the season in doing so.
A number of goalkeepers have made eight saves in a game this term, but nobody has done it twice like de Gea has, and below is a list of who he’s beaten to the punch so far (no pun intended).
Kasper Schmeichel – LEICESTER CITY vs Chelsea = Eight saves
Hugo Lloris – TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR vs Manchester City = Eight saves
Tom Heaton – BURNLEY vs Arsenal = Eight saves
Lukasz Fabianski – SWANSEA CITY vs Manchester City = Eight saves
David de Gea – MANCHESTER UNITED vs Arsenal = Eight saves
Vs Liverpool = Eight saves
