#2 David De Gea to the rescue once more

De Gea- The saviour

David De Gea has been bagging the 'best player trophy' at club awards since last four seasons and looks set to do it for the fifth season in a row.

The Spanish No.1 has been a bit off form recently as United has let in 1.5 goals per game this season which is mostly down to defensive mistakes. But, De Gea was on his best form against Young Boys as he made a magnificent save to preserve his clean sheet.

In the last quarter of the game, the away side won a corner which fell to Ulisss Garcia just outside the box. The Swiss defender's shot took two deflections, one from Chris Smalling and one from his own teammate as the ball looked on course to trick De Gea and cross the line but for his heroic reaction save.

De Gea stamped his tag of 'one of the best goalkeepers around' as many elite goalkeepers plying their trade at biggest clubs would not have been able to make that save.
