Manchester United guardian, David De Gea was rated by many as the best goalkeeper in the world last season, thanks to his brilliant performances during the campaign. The 27-year-old was expected to continue with his impressive displays between the sticks this term, but with what we have seen so far - he is yet to reach his peak.

Even though it is realizable that The Red Devils have been struggling since the beginning of the term, the Spaniard hasn't been brilliant either. De Gea displayed a lot of individual brilliance last term, helping to cover United's blushes during the moments when the team produced average performances - but he has failed to reach such a level this season.
For the goalkeeper that kept the most clean sheets in the Premier League during the previous campaign, the Spanish International has now conceded 7 goals in 4 appearances, marking one of his worst starts in the English top flight.
