David De Gea breaks Shay Given’s 13-year-old record in Manchester United’s 2-0 win at Leeds

David De Gea has smashed Shay Given's record as being the youngest goalkeeper in Premier League history to reach 400 games in the competition.

The Manchester United shot-stopper made his 400th appearance in Sunday's 2-0 win over Leeds at Elland Road, which saw Erik ten Hag's side rise briefly to second in the table.

At 32 years and 97 days, De Gea beats the previous record held by Given. The Irish legend made his 400th appearance in the competition against Wigan Athletic in 2010 aged 33 years and 335 days.
