Sunday will be a memorable day for David de Gea, who will make his 500th appearance for Manchester United if he features against Newcastle.
The Spaniard has spent just over 11 years at Old Trafford since arriving from Atletico Madrid in the summer of 2011. He was handed the huge job of filling the gloves of the recently-retired Edwin van der Sar, who had become a club legend at the Red Devils.
De Gea has been United's No.1 ever since, proving Sir Alex Ferguson's judgement to be spot on. The Scot actually missed an EFL Cup clash with Scunthorpe United to scout De Gea, following advice from former goalkeeper coach Eric Steele that he was the man to replace Van der Sar.
