'Gianluigi Buffon still ahead of David de Gea as world’s No.1 goalkeeper', says former Manchester United man Mark Bosnich

Juventus hero Gianluigi Buffon is still ahead David de Gea as the best goalkeeper in the world, according to former Manchester United glovesman Mark Bosnich.

Spanish star De Gea received widespread acclaim for his goalkeeping masterclass in the Red Devils’s recent victory over Arsenal, where his 14 saves – a joint Premier League record – were crucial to United’s massive 3-1 win over their top-four rivals.

A host of pundits and former professionals, as well as fans, claimed his sensational display against the Gunners proves De Gea is now the top goalkeeper in world football.
