#5 David De Gea (Manchester United)

Manchester United v Liverpool - Premier League — De Gea is arguably the best goalkeeper in world football at the moment

'Dave saves' has become a common chant at Manchester United and boy has David De Gea saved Manchester United this season. A supreme shot-stopper and arguably the best goalkeeper in the world, De Gea has time and again helped Manchester United maintain clean sheets by pulling off some truly stunning saves.

Winner of Manchester United's Player Of The Year for 3 seasons in a row, the Spaniard is well on his way to being crowned his club's best player once again. While United's defence has blown hot and cold this season, one man who has been absolutely consistent and as solid as a rock has been the Spanish shot-stopper.

The 27-year-old has 15 clean sheets this season and is just ahead of his rival Ederson (14 clean sheets) in the race for the Golden Glove. De Gea is undoubtedly the best player in the Manchester United squad.
