De Gea wins Golden Glove award

Despite the significance of the Red Devils' victory, it was De Gea's moment of success that stole the limelight.

The Mirror reports that United's clean sheet in the match was all that the Spaniard needed to win the Golden Glove award - for the second time in his Premier League spell.

This was the shot-stopper's 16th clean sheet of the season.

De Gea's tally could still be matched by Liverpool's Alisson Becker, Nick Pope and Aaron Ramsdale, with the trio still three clean sheets behind the Spaniard with three matches of the season still to play.

Be that as it may, none can overtake De Gea - meaning that the Man United star is guaranteed a share of the award on the minimum.

Man United fans want De Gea gone

Earlier, Sports Brief reported most United fans agree that the goalkeeper should bid farewell at the end of the season when his contract expires.

He is one of the best shot-stoppers in the world, but his distribution is atrocious, and with Erik Ten Hag demanding a ball-playing goalkeeper, fans want De Gea gone.

De Gea joined United from Atletico Madrid more than a decade ago.
