While he initially struggled in the Premier League, de Gea dramatically improved during his time in England and has now made 259 appearances for the club.

De Gea, who was named in the 2018 FIFA FIFPro World XI, has won multiple honours with United, including the Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup and the Europa League.

United caretaker boss Ole Gunnar Solskjær has already tipped de Gea to become the greatest 'keeper in the club's history.
"We've had some great keepers at this club and I think he's challenging both Edwin and Peter for the number one spot historically," he said (via BBC Sport).
United's first-choice 'keeper was widely praised by fans for his performance against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, with Watford's Ben Foster coming out to silence de Gea's critics in a brilliant tweet.
