5 players who deserved to be nominated for the PFA player of the year

2) David De Gea

David De Gea was nominated last season for the PFA Player of the year but he has missed out this time. The Spanish stopper has been one of the main reasons United have managed to get where they are in the table.

De Gea has probably been one of Manchester United’s best players over the last two or three seasons. At times, he has kept United in games almost single-handedly. The 25-year-old has been regularly linked with a move to Real Madrid in recent times

He almost did join Real Madrid last season but the deal fell through at the last moment. Manchester United have the most number of clean sheets in the league but that has largely been down to De Gea’s brilliance between the sticks.

If United fail to qualify for the Champions League this season they might struggle to keep hold of their star man. But the keeper definitely deserved to be nominated for the award this season.
