5 best paid goalkeepers in world football

#2 David de Gea (Manchester United)

Best in the business?

The Manchester United's No.1 is the second highest paid goalkeeper in the world and earns £200,00 a week. De Gea has won everyone's heart with his incredibly stunning performances for United over the last three years and is now widely regarded by many as the best goalkeeper in the world.

When Sir Alex Ferguson decided to replace the retiring Edwin Van Der Sar with a slender, lean Spaniard in 2011, there were many questions raised. He had a tough start to life in England as well as he found it hard to adjust to the physicality of the Premier League.

However, through sheer determination and resolve, he has evolved to be their best player and has been producing world-class saves each and every week. He was given the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year for three years in a row and has also been voted into the PFA Team of the Year in the last three seasons.

This season, he has kept 20 clean sheets in 39 games and is on course to win the Premier League Golden Glove. Manchester United are the only team in Europe not to have conceded more than 2 goals in a match this season, which speaks of De Gea's heroics between the sticks.
