De Gea levels Schmeichel’s clean-sheet record

The Spaniard is level with Reds legend Peter Schmeichel on 180, having made 521 appearances for the club since he arrived from Atletico Madrid in June 2011.

David also holds the 10th-most appearances for the club, and has been in superb form this season under Erik ten Hag.

During his decorated career at United, De Gea has won the Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup, and Europa League. In equalling Schmeichel’s record, he adds a further accolade to his name, along with a host of other personal achievements.

The 32-year-old racked up a record fourth Players’ Player of the Year award last term, after featuring in every single minute of our 2021/22 Premier League campaign, and regularly being on hand to save the Reds.
