CHRIS WHEELER: David de Gea's contribution under Erik ten Hag cannot be underestimated. Amid passing Peter Schmeichel's 24-year clean sheet record the Spaniard is making a habit of crucial saves - as he did again at Wembley

As Manchester United’s players celebrated in front of the red and white hordes still packed inside Wembley, David de Gea broke away from his teammates and ran towards the touchline.

The first hug was for United’s goalkeeper coach Richard Hartis. Then one for each of Erik ten Hag’s backroom staff who came over to congratulate the Spaniard as the huddle grew bigger and bigger.

If it wasn’t for the fact he is 6ft 4in tall and dressed from head to toe in bright yellow, you could easily have lost sight of De Gea altogether.
