De Gea has been Man United's standout performer

David de Gea is probably the best goalkeeper in the world right now and best players play for Real Madrid. The Spaniard has been linked with a move to the Los Blancos on several occasions and had a failed transfer to Bernabeu on the deadline day last summer.

After a shaky start to life at Manchester United, De Gea has been consistent for the Red Devils since linking up with them as a youngster in 2011 from Atletico Madrid. The Spaniard has ruled the English Premier League being in the PFA team of the year in 5 seasons out of seven seasons in the English top flight. He has claimed the gong in four consecutive seasons as well as scooping the prestigious Manchester United Sir. Matt Busby Player of the year for a record four times.

De Gea has proved his quality as a top-class goalkeeper during his time at Manchester United with quick reflexes and amazing saves. David has kept Manchester United in matches by keeping opponents at bay and is the reason Manchester United secured a Champions League qualification this season. The Spaniard has kept 17 clean sheets this season as compared to 6 clean sheets by Real Madrid's Keylor Navas.

With Keylor Navas 32 years old, the Costarican goalkeeper form is diminishing, therefore, it's a perfect time for the Los Blancos to add the Spaniard goalkeeper to their ranks to break Barcelona La Liga dominance as the stats clearly show that De Gea is now supreme to the ageing custodian.
