David de Gea must be ranked alongside Peter Schmeichel and Edwin van der Sar as the greatest goalkeepers to have played for Manchester United.
That's the message from ex-United coach Rene Meulensteen, who enjoyed two spells at Old Trafford and was at the club when De Gea signed over a decade ago. De Gea made his 400th appearance in the Premier League during the 2-0 win over Leeds at Elland Road on Sunday afternoon.
He marked the occasion with a clean sheet. However, there is no certainty the long-serving Spaniard will stay put beyond next summer, despite his brilliant form.
