Their keeper not only pulled off a couple of world class saves, but he managed to keep a penalty out to boot and the game against Everton was just the latest in terms of heroics from the stopper this season.
David De Gea looks assured, confident and completely in control at times – what a far cry from the player who arrived from Atletico Madrid those seasons ago.
He is comfortable with all aspects of his game now – and for a keeper is still so young and only liable to improve.
His defence are dire and he is once again looking like the best player on the pitch for United after being named their player of last season.
Imagine De Gea with a better defence in front of him should Van Gaal buy in January.
