Newcastle United v Manchester United - Premier League
Every great Manchester United team had a larger than life custodian guarding their goal. Sir Alex was blessed with two fantastic goalkeepers during his reign, and both Peter Schmeichel and Edwin van der Saar were the best in the world during their time. Sir Alex's parting gift to Manchester United was another young keeper who has turned out to be the best in the world right now.

De Gea is so good that he has made the mediocre Manchester United defense look strong for the last couple of years. The Spaniard has been the best player at Old Trafford ever since Sir Alex retired and it was only his brilliance last season that took United to second spot in the league, the highest they have finished since the departure of their legendary manager. De Gea's reflexes and his ability to make unconventional saves with his legs make him the greatest asset at Old Trafford right now. The only way for United to usher in the future would be with him in the goal.
Manchester United should do everything in their power to keep their brilliant goalkeeper at Old Trafford. Every great team in the world would be better with the Spaniard guarding their goal.

Deepungsu holds a PG degree in Microbiology and an MBA degree in Total Quality Management. He has an extensive two-decade long writing experience, which includes a decade of sports blogging. His writing prowess has even led his work getting cited on the legendary Franz Beckenbauer's Wikipedia page.
Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
