Juventus legend Gianluigi Buffon controversially leaves Manchester United's David De Gea out as he names his top five goalkeepers

Juventus icon Gianluigi Buffon has named his top five goalkeepers in world football, controversially leaving Manchester United shot-stopper David de Gea out of his selection.

De Gea is widely seen as one of the standout goalkeepers, but there was no place for the Spaniard in Buffon's top five.

Buffon elected not to name any Italian goalkeepers, but did go for two Premier League custodians in Manchester City's Ederson and Chelsea's Thibaut Courtois.

Atletico Madrid's Jan Oblak made the cut, as did Barcelona's Marc-Andre Ter Stegen and Bayern Munich's Manuel Neuer.
