David de Gea is now one the longest-serving players in the current Manchester United squad, having been a mainstay in between the sticks for all the managers who have passed through Old Trafford since his arrival in July 2011.
After a wobbly 18 months, the Spaniard looks to be hitting top form again having pulled off a number of fine stops in recent matches. He is just 22 appearances away from reaching 500 games in the colours of United, having kept 164 clean sheets in his near 11-year stay - nine of which have come this season.
Despite his recent displays, he was left out of the Spain squad for the current international break which surprised many. One of those would have been Paul Woolston, who this week announced he is hanging his gloves up for good due to a persistent hip injury aged just 23.
