#1 David de Gea (Manchester United)
There is no doubting that there are massive problems at Manchester United at the moment, but one area where they are absolutely fine is in goal. In David de Gea, they have the best goalkeeper in the Premier League, and maybe the best in the world as well. The Spaniard may have had a difficult World Cup, and he isn’t as good with the ball at his feet as Ederson, but his shot stopping abilities are second to none.
It has been a turbulent five years since Sir Alex Ferguson retired as Manchester United manager and was replaced by David Moyes. In those years, de Gea has been by far and away their best players.
In his 245 Premier League games, he has kept 94 clean sheets, an impressive record given the fact that he has never had a settled defence in front of him. He has won United countless points over the years, and with all the talk about Paul Pogba’s future, people seem to have forgotten that de Gea’s contract is up at the end of the year. There is no doubting who is more important to the side.
