Erik ten Hag has hailed David de Gea for bringing experience and leadership to the Manchester United side this season.
The United manager backed De Gea to be his first-choice goalkeeper in the summer and allowed back-up Dean Henderson to move to Nottingham Forest on loan.
United reinforced their options with the loan addition of Martin Dubravka on deadline day, while Tom Heaton remains at the club as the third-choice shot-stopper.
