The December award also encompasses games played in November, due to the break in the season for the 2022 World Cup.
And it is a De Gea stop from our 2-1 win over Fulham on 13 November which has been nominated for the monthly accolade.
In the second half, with the Reds leading following Christian Eriksen's early effort, Fulham centre-back Tim Ream rose high at the back post before directing a powerful header which was seemingly destined to nestle in the back of the net.
De Gea had other ideas, and the Spaniard reacted superbly to turn the effort over the crossbar.
