Fans have showered David de Gea with praise following his man-of-the-match performance during Man United's Premier League clash against West Ham.

The Spanish goalkeeper pulled off some stunning saves to keep United in the tie, as the Red Devils sunk the Hammers 1-0 at Old Trafford on Sunday, October 30.

While Marcus Rashford proved to be the man of the moment with his powerful header, which fired United to victory, de Gea earned his fair share of praise for keeping the visitors at bay.

The 31-year-old goalkeeper's influence in the encounter became more apparent in the closing stages, as he made triple saves to deny West Ham a golden opportunity to equalise.

Antonio was the first to test de Gea after he beat Scott McTominay in the midfield, only for the United shot-stopper to fingertip his effort over the bar.

Kurt Zouma went close moments later when he was set up by Aaron Cresswell, but his powerful header was clawed out of the goalmouth.

Declan Rice also had a chance to restore parity at stoppage time, but the Spanish goalkeeper was in place to fend off the threat.

The match eventually ended in a 1-0 win for United, but fans were quick to take note of de Gea's influence in the match.

De Gea to miss World Cup

Earlier, Sports Brief reported David de Gea is set to miss the World Cup after he was snubbed by Spain boss Luis Enrique at the naming of his 55-man provisional squad.

The Manchester United goalkeeper missed the squad, which had five goalkeepers, including three from the Premier League.

The 31-year-old has 45 caps with Spain and with top goalkeepers coming up for the European nation, he is considered a relic of a bygone era.
