What makes De Gea feel alive?

The Spaniard is approaching 500 games in a red shirt and has been the undisputed first choice between the sticks at United for over a decade, since making the switch from Atletico Madrid as a 20-year-old.

There have been plenty of ups in those years, with De Gea winning the Premier League title, plus the FA Cup, EFL Cup and Europa League and numerous individual prizes, including an unprecedented four Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year wins.

David has also experienced the odd dip in form, which is natural for any player, and he told Game of Thrones actor John Bradley recently that the spotlight is something he’s had to learn to deal with.
