Manchester United duo David de Gea and Cristiano Ronaldo were both honoured by the club ahead of Sunday afternoon's Premier League clash with Newcastle United at Old Trafford.
De Gea, who joined United from Spanish giants Atletico Madrid 11 years ago, was presented with an engraved plate from Sir Alex Ferguson after being handed his 500th appearance for the club, continuing his run of having started every game in all competitions for the Reds so far this season. The Spaniard has joined an exclusive list of players to have played 500 games or more for United.
Participating in a joint-presentation, De Gea, who has won seven trophies in his Reds career so far, was joined by Ronaldo, who was also honoured after scoring the 700th goal of his club career against Everton last weekend. The five-time Ballon d'Or winner stepped off the bench to score the winner, helping Erik ten Hag's side seal a 2-1 win at Goodison Park.
