4) Retaining David de Gea
David, o David! Where would we have been without his gravity defying saves. Manchester United’s Player of the Season for three years in a row, David de Gea has been without a doubt our saviour. But things would have been a lot different had he left us for Real Madrid at the beginning of the 2015-16 season.
It seemed that De Gea had his heart set on leaving Old Trafford but Louis van Gaal stood firm, and boy has he reaped the rewards. He even benched the Spaniard for the first few games of the season claiming that de Gea was not in the right frame of mind. But since he pulled back the famous Red & White of United, David de Gea has not looked back. And all of us are mighty pleased that he has stayed put.
