On a day when Manchester United were linked with one of the goalkeepers who has taken David de Gea's place in the Spanish national team, their current No. 1 issued the perfect reminder that it is what you do with your hands that really counts.
United are one of three of the big six who have reportedly cast a glance at David Raya, a reliable goalkeeper for Brentford whose biggest attribute is his ability with his feet. As Jurgen Klopp said of him last season, "the goalkeeper could wear the number 10 shirt."
But he has to wear the number one shirt and few do it better than De Gea. It feels like the 32-year-old's relationship with United supporters has been rekindled recently. He is over his rocky patch and looks back to his best.
