Ole feels De Gea is world's best again

The Spaniard was outstanding in the 2-1 victory over Villarreal, winning our Man of the Match award by beating Cristiano Ronaldo into second place.

It continues the no.1's great work in 2021/22 which should also put him in the frame for our Player of the Month prize for September, with the nominees due to be confirmed on Thursday afternoon.

"Thankfully, we had the best goalkeeper in the world tonight," Ole said at his post-match press conference. "David was fantastic and I was very happy with his performance."

De Gea has bounced back after his penalty was saved in the Europa League final shoot-out defeat to Villarreal and was kept out of Spain's Euro 2020 side by Unai Simon.
