De Gea suddenly looked himself again. Some very good saves.

I admittedly only watched three United games this season, but he was good to very good in all of them. Still a top-class goalkeeper.

Very good today, some great saves and good distribution. Didn't like that he refused to pick up the ball with his hands and tried to kick it away when in front of him a couple of times though.
First time it looked like he needed to, that it would have taken a bit too long to collect it with his hands.

Think I agree on the second one. Different camera angle, though.

He played brilliantly, but... that Mbappe shot was impossible to save. One of the best saves of his career

Maybe thats the only reason why hes back in form. Competition
Agree. That's what I and many thought Henderson coming in would do. Light a fire under De Gea's arse.

I think he came out of his 6 yard box more times tonight than the previous 20 games combined.

Massively improved in this regard over the past three games (our two & with Spain).

Back row. Singing.
Good to see him getting back to something like his best form, made some very good saves again today. Hopefully he can keep it up and maintain some consistency.

As a club we’re lucky to have two goalkeepers of such quality.

Thought both keepers on the field were outstanding tonight actually.

Even his distribution was very much improved tonight. Played a couple of wonderful long passes, hopefully continues to develop that side of his game.

Someone should mention his organization of the defence today, which was fantastic.

All round, back to his best.

Back to his best tonight. Really does help that even after you defend so well all night your keeper is solid and not making and mistakes.

De Gea's best is on a level few goalkeepers have ever reached. I struggle with the idea of giving up on him for Henderson, who is unlikely to ever reach that level nevermind sustain it

Indeed. While missing out on Sancho was a kick in the teeth, I maintain the other players we've signed this summer will help us massively due to the heightened competition, no one's place is safe and it's that sort of mentality that kept SAF's squads thriving.

Just after the first whistle Di Maria & Mbappe stopped almost single-handedly.

Inspiring today.

Very good today. He has often been poor in big games so this was nice to see instead. Hope he can build form and momentum.

Said it earlier. If he gets back to his best, Hendo doesn't have a prayer of getting the starting spot. Imo, the most talented goalkeeper I have ever seen.

129 appearances behind Alex Stepney. Let's hope he has enough form in him to get the record.

True United legend.

The end of the beginning of the end. Or something. 2 big performances in a row. Starting to look himself. Confidence is weird, isn't it?

I think he tried to train that in the holiday break when AWB and Maguire spent theirs in Dubai and Greece.

Bar one , all of them were routine DDG saves. But the Mbappe one was bloody brilliant. Came too fast , saw it in the last minute and he got enough so that the ball went out. (Thought it was his palm)

In a pretty substantial downpour at the time as well.
