#5 David De Gea
The regrouping and restructuring that United have gone through in the post-Fergie era have seen them slump like they've rarely done in the past. Well, it could have been a whole lot worse if Spain's number 1 was not hurling his body around and stopping bullets like he was the chosen one all set to embrace the matrix.
De Gea, after being derided by critics in his first couple of years, evolved into an absolute wall with the reach of a long selfie stick. It is not every day that you see a goalkeeper winning matches for his team but when it came to United, their fans were almost seeing that on a weekly basis. He is arguably the best goalkeeper in England right now and can give Manuel Neuer a run for his money on the international stage.
