There's another two points he's earned us today. He's as important as any goalscorer to United.
Usual De Gea performance. Makes a world class save or two. Also made his once a match poor clearance which we always seem to get away with.
The only truly WC player we have now. He's approaching my love for Schmeichel. Please stay for another 5 years, De Gea 
That save from the deflection was something else.
DDG vs Watford
He's just brilliant.
Those saves he gets when the ball is seemingly already on it's way past him are amazing!
What would we have done without him. He manages to pull out worldies like this every other week
Kicking wasn't on point today but his saves are just exceptional. Truly world class.
MOTM for me. This man is superhuman, that's the only explanation for those reflexes.
That deflection save was as good as any we've seen.
World-class.

He's not a human being, he's the goat.
Everywhere you go, you always take De Gea with you!!
Watford players were already celebrating before he made that save 
He's the best goalkeeper in the world.
He's made a lot of spectacular saves but that was one of the very few that I genuinely couldn't believe he saved. It all happened so quickly I could barely comprehend what happened!
I can marry him. I am a man and i'm not gay.
He's had a few like that where the ball is already beyond him and he's got no right to be anywhere near it.
The Torres one and I think Southampton (from the corner?) spring to mind.
That today was up there with his best.
I hate van Gaal's attitude to de Gea. Constantly plays down the importance and even the quality of his performances when prompted by the interviewers.
Yeah it's infuriating watching that segment of the interview
It's got to the point where I'm not even that amazed any more. He just pulls of a wonder save in almost every game these days, such a quality keeper.
This guy if he sticks about will easily eclipse Peter and Edwin as our greatest ever.
The biggest compliment i can give him is that he has changed what i expect in goalkeepers. He makes it hard to see the difference between a de gea save and a regulation save.
I think if he could be the best goal keeper that this club has ever seen.

Wouldn't have won without his contribution today.
Kicking was pretty poor.

Comments like this about current players are usually crazy overstatements and a little ridiculous but this one is entirely reasonable.
If he sticks around he'll go down as our best.
I think that's the best save he's ever made for us, didn't see it until it was nearly in.
It angers me so much because it is so needless. Why can't he just stand there and say "yeah, he was outstanding and I couldn't ask for more"
Seems pretty obvious he's trying to downplay his role and importance in preparation for him being sold next summer.
The save where it deflected off Smalling was sublime. Truly world class.
Nah, in general he has a hard time praising players individually.
I wouldn't be surprised if he isn't happy today with him because of his distribution, even if he provided some great saves. Which of course it's ridiculous, but knowing van Gaal probably the truth.
His ability to stay focused in games in which he's had nothing to do is remarkable.
DDG favourited a tweet from Adidas congratulating Suárez for scoring his 2nd goal tonight.
Seems like he is over Madrid, great stuff.

I only really watch Bayern's CL matches but for anyone who watches both Dave and Neuer regularly,who would you say is the current best keeper in the world?
Jedi reactions. Keeping him away from Madrid is the best business we've done for years. Whoever made a bollocks of the midnight paperwork is a saint. Utterly irreplaceable.
I watch a bit of Bayern and I have no idea; Neuer often does very little. It would be easier to tell if he had more to do, like De Gea does.
It might be so close as to depend on the team around them and the opponent. If you're playing a high line and dominating, you take Neuer and if you're a team that's going to give up a lot of shots, you take De Gea. So, maybe Neuer would be the choice for the very top teams and De Gea for literally everyone else.
That save of the smalling deflection was amazing. He showed amazing reflexes to keep that out. With how few goals we create, he really is a massive difference to whether we get the points or not
It could possibly be to show our performances in a better light, and not get drawn into the "De Gea saved you" viewpoint.
I personally can't answer that, but I imagine De Gea lacks big performances in big matches which Neuer would have already done. CL quarters/semis/finals, World Cup, Title decider etc.
I think is is it. Doesn't speak well of a team, when the Keeper is constantly being talked about.
