David De Gea of Manchester United is often seen as the standout goalkeeper in the Premier League. Despite his success, there are other impressive goalkeepers in the league. Despite being named the best goalkeeper in the world by ESPN FC 100, De Gea has only one Premier League title to his name.
De Gea also boasts a “Golden Glove” award for achieving the most clean sheets in a season. However, last season saw a dozen goalkeepers record clean sheets in their careers, changing the landscape.
De Gea’s success is also influenced by his teammates and how often he is included in the PFA Team of the Year. He has been recognized as the league’s top goalkeeper on five occasions, a feat unmatched by his peers.
While De Gea has had a remarkable tenure, his form seems to be declining. His performance in the World Cup was disappointing, although he appears to be improving with the national team. However, his displays for Manchester United have faltered, with just two clean sheets in 16 matches this season.Of concern is De Gea’s low save percentage of 67, placing him in the bottom half of goalkeepers in the league.
