62?
Will David De Gea break Alex Stepney's record for club appearances?
- Thread starter sullydnl
- Start date
My ordinary-level maths shining through there.
3 years younger than Van der Sar was when he signed for us, who went on to make 186 appearances for the club.
I think he will do it.

he will add 4 trophies after this season
He's over 30 so he's been dead a few years apparently. Van Der Sar was resurrected from his crypt in Fulham before touch screens existed though, so he was grandfathered in.
Hope he does it, am sure he will.
Had his ups and downs but he'll be a club legend for me when/if he does it.

Absolutely.
If he signs a new contract then can see him getting 500 PL appearances too
Goes level with Stepney on Thursday, will break that record on Sunday.
1 - Giggs - 963
2 - Charlton - 758
3 - Scholes - 718
4 - Foulkes - 688
5 - Neville - 602
6 - Rooney - 559
7 - Stepney - 539
8 - De Gea - 538
That Giggs record really is ridiculous. Be a long time before he gets overtaken by anyone.

Probably never. His apps numbers from age 17 to 40 are absolutely insane. He had less than 30 apps in a season only twice - his first season aged 16/17 with 2 apps, and his last season aged 39/40 with 22 apps - and he had less than 40 apps only 9 times in total.
yet another fecking shit thread about a player who has served us for years, being ripped apart by so called fans.
Legend - one of the best signings.
You are probably right however god knows how medicine/fitness will improve in the future. Back in the 80s forwards were normally gassed out by age 33. These days they seem to go on till forever
I just write them off as completely clueless. Like you would the opinions of rival fans.
If Rashford plays to the same age as Giggs then there’s a realistic chance he could do it. After 8 seasons Rashford is on 354, Giggs was on 279. Although obviously Giggs started in the first team younger.
Rashford is ahead in terms of goals and appearances at the same age, but I doubt he'll play til 40.
Rashford could pass Rooney's goal record also if averages 20+ goals for 6 more seasons
A sign of the times.
Well do to Dave
Some of the way he is spoken about by fans is a disgrace.
Yeah, it's likely he won't play until that age but it's not entirely outside the realms of possibility. I think he'll break Rooney's record if he spends his career at United.
Legend there Dave! Absolutely immense to our success post Fergie era. SAVE DAVE!
A post based on the strutiny on him currently as opposed to his overall career at Utd
He should be averaging 20 goals a season with his talent
Criticism of Dave's inability to command the box, a catchall phrase but a useful one, is fair game. But the shots taken at De Gea here are way over the top. More than a handful of caf posters had a full erection for Henderson but Hendo doesn't look the great keeper now that he was supposedly destined to be.
Until this season, can it honestly be written that Dave has ever had a reliable back four in front of him? He was saddled with Maguire, and before him Bailly and Smalling and Jones and Rojo. It would be harsh to call them all clowns, but these are not names that belong in the same sentence as David De Gea in terms of contributions to United over the last decade.
