Ranking the 10 best goalkeepers in the world

Spain v Switzerland - International Friendly
Spain have two of the top goalkeepers in the world available to them

#1 David de Gea (Manchester United)

Manchester United v Leicester City - Premier League
de Gea has been United's best player for a number of years

Simply, de Gea is the best goalkeeper in the world at the moment, and there is very little doubt about that. He seemed slightly out of his depth at Old Trafford when he first joined the club in 2011, but he seems to have got better with every passing year and is now the most important player at United. He has been United’s Player of the Year in four of the past five years, and rightly so.

It has been a turbulent time at United since Sir Alex Ferguson resigned in 2013, and de Gea has been the one constant. He has never been able to fully trust the defenders in front of him, but he continues to put in outstanding performances week-in, week-out at club level. He may have had troubles on the international stage with Spain, particularly at the World Cup in Russia. There is no doubting though that he is the best shot stopper in the world.
