A 0-0 Old Trafford stalemate against Pep Guardiola’s City side was only our third clean sheet of the Premier League campaign.
A 35th-minute stop from De Gea to deny the Blues' Riyad Mahrez a golden opportunity was a highlight of a stubborn stance from the Reds.
But if the Reds can pile up the shut-out stats at the back, our Spanish no.1 believes we can be in the shake-up to come in the fight for the 2020/21 league crown.
“I think, defensively, we were perfect tonight,” De Gea told us after the game.
“They didn't create too many chances, maybe two or three big chances, but I think, against them, it was defensively a great game.
