It was a close call between De Gea and Neuer but De Gea edges this one out. De Gea has all the attributes to make him the best goalkeeper in the world. He has speed, a good physic and his reflexes are not matched by any goalkeeper in the world today. Brought to Manchester United at the age of 20 for £18.9 million, that seems to be a bargain considering today's market. Sir Alex couldn't have expected him to blossom better than he has when he bought him. He has been the shining light in the Manchester United post-Fergie era winning all but one Manchester United player of the year awards. You simply can't put anyone in front of this talented Spanish maestro in any list of goalkeepers. With over 30 caps for Spain, which could have been more and over 200 appearances for Manchester United way before the age of 30 you still feel like the best is yet to come from De Gea.
