3. One of the best in the league
The stats don’t lie about David de Gea, he may not be leading the Premier League with the most clean sheets but most goalkeepers would struggle trying to keep clean sheets with the injury list at United. His performance against Everton was outstanding where he single or double handedly kept Everton out to give United the win.
De Gea has played 11 games this season, the same as two top goalkeepers who are about the same age as De Gea, Thibaut Courtois and Fraser Forster of Chelsea and Southampton respectively. While Forster leads the Premier League with the most clean sheets, 7 in 11 games, in terms of saves per game and distribution accuracy it is De Gea leading the pair with 1.73 saves per game and 70% distribution accuracy and and he had steered United to secure 3 clean sheets this season even with all their defensive problems.

De Gea might not be the best goalkeeper in the World but his growth has been remarkable and Manchester United selling the Spanish goalkeeper would really be a huge loss for them.
