#5 David de Gea
His exploits need no introduction. David de Gea is hands down the best in-form keeper in the world and has saved Manchester United from humiliation more often than not in the past few seasons.
The shot-stopper has been Manchester United’s Player of the Year for three consecutive seasons now, making a club record and has looked absolutely impenetrable in front of the goal. It is also the third time that the 25-year-old Spaniard has been named the best goalkeeper in the Premier League.
Despite being 5th in the Premier League table, Manchester United have the second best defensive record only behind Spurs, all thanks to De Gea’s exploits between the sticks, keeping 14 clean sheets in 32 appearances.
With Casillas a shade of his previous best, De Gea is likely to take over from Spain’s long-serving fading captain and should prove to be an excellent replacement.
