The top contender for the award

De Gea has been saving Manchester United in the recent seasons with his extraordinary saves and was rightfully awarded Manchester United's player of the season award for three years in a row until Ander Herrera won it last year.

Although conceding more goals as compared to the other three goalkeepers, his saves have been a class apart. In 30 appearances, the Spaniard has kept 15 clean sheets while conceding 23 goals in the PL. He has made 115 saves in all competitions this year but is still yet to save a penalty this year.

In the game vs Arsenal, he equaled the record for most saves in a Premier League game, by making 14 saves. De Gea has been the most consistent and in-form goalkeeper in recent times. He will be looking to emulate Iker Casillas' heroic displays in the world cup when he lines up as Spain's shot-stopper later this year in the WC.
