De Gea denies Watford parity

David de Gea looks less assured at the back for Spain than he does for United and that's a fact. What is a United victory without a spectacular David de Gea save after all, eh?

The Spaniard whose place among the all-time greats was brought into contention following an underwhelming outing at the World Cup, kept making vital saves and his performance was a masterclass in shot-stopping.

United would have had to deal with heavy heartbreak if not for a spectacular save by de Gea in the dying embers of the game.

With de Gea peaking at the right time, Mourinho could yet no pull all his remaining hair out worrying about that defence.
