And to think, a week ago a good few were suggesting he's not that good.
He's the fecking business.

He is probably the best shot stopper I've ever seen.
Ben Foster likes him:

I don't know if I'm just used to him making great saves but I thought the ones he made against Watford were pretty routine 
Does he/should he start tomorrow?
Man Utd 1:1 Wolves
Back to his best after looking like he was suffering from some post World Cup blues.
God knows where we'd be without him. I think he's worth 6-8 league positions easily.
Awesome like always.
Love the look of his disgusted face at the dying minutes. Showed he deeply care.
And he's getting more vocal. Keep it up.
Edit:
just 3 comments of recent game. Another routine performance by him, not much to be said isn't it.

Marca reporting he's been voted in the Fifa The Best XI.
Nice one David. People are gonna get annoyed about it because of his World Cup tournament (which was really overblown, only made one blunder), but still ignoring his very impressive season at United.

Got into the best XI.
Mate, we are well past the stage where we praise his performance.Awesome like always.

Edit:
We've reached a stage where every match, we expect him to put a match winning performance. A match winning performance for a GK, is almost unheard of.
Our defenders are so bad, it must frustrate DDG, that opponents can so easily go past them and he is forced to make difficult saves, to keep our team in the match.
If I'd been 10 yrs younger, I would've sent those FIFA XI screenshots to all my De Gea downplaying mates who always say him not getting the recognition outside United means he's actually not that good. It's as if non-United fans found it hard to take we can have the best player in his position.

Is he actually the best in the world though... o_O
Great shotstopper most of the time, but you know what they say about GKs who are called great shotstoppers

Deserved
I'm sorry, do you mean him being in goals as opposed to nobody at all being in? Otherwise that's a pretty ludicrous case of hyperbole.
Youve signed Neuer?
Nope but we did get GrantYouve signed Neuer?
Congrats to De Gea! He is and has been a brilliant servant to United. He deserves all the best. Looking forward to him winning many more big things with us, both on a team and individual level.
Yeah, it's getting repetitive. At this stage, him making mistakes would garner a lot more posts.
"Phil Jones"?Is he actually the best in the world though... o_O

Like McGrath at Villa in the 90's he's holding everything together whilst being a few levels above his teammates. Just give him Sanchez money, lord knows if anyone deserves it, De god does.
Glad he was in FIFA 11, very well deserved.
So Cortouis is the GK of the year, but de Gea gets ahead of him in the team of the year? Makes total sense.
That XI proves that all these football awards, XIs etc are rubbish especially when it is determined by voting.
Brilliant new!! Chuffed for him..
Hope they announce the extension of his contract soon..

28 years old,time has flown by.
Shame he hasn't got more in his medal collection because he sure as hell deserves it.
He is the epitome of what is great about Manchester United.The players and management could learn a thing or two from him and how he carries himself in and around United.

West Ham 3:1 Man Utd
Gotta wonder what he thinks sometimes. All that brilliance and yet...
At least he looked like the best in the world in previous seasons under LvG and Mourinho and was credited with being a huge part of our great defensive records. This season he's conceding goal after goal.

Why GKs just stand and watch and not make a step and intercept the low ball and not receive a goal ? Very strange
Yep I'm not putting our goals conceded down to him, although perhaps he hasn't been quite at his brilliant best. But he's being tainted by our defensive record this season and it might get to a point where he wonders whether he'd be better off elsewhere. At least in previous seasons he could take some plaudits from our defensive records.
So he has cost us the chance of two potential comebacks with awful passes. Against Brighton and today.
Yeah let's sell the useless shit.
Hahaha . Yeah He is a bit shit our Dave .
Man Utd 0:0 Valencia
Great goalkeeper and I adore him but his kicking is fecking awful. At least one bad per kick per game where he kicks it low straight to opposition or just out of play.
I remember when he joined, his footwork was one of the best things about him. Slowly over time, it seems hes been told to just hoof it as quickly as possible which makes no sense. His distribution and passing (im sure unless im remembering fondly incorrectly) used to be good.
