Manchester United beat West Ham 1-0, and after the game, the happiest was the Spanish goalkeeper De Gea. Because, after the game, De Gea completed the 162nd clean sheet of manchester United's career, which is the third most in the history of Manchester United. He is only 18 games away from the first Schmeichel, and even many fans joke that if he changes a few teammates to De Gea, then he will have surpassed Schmeichel and become the goalkeeper with the most clean sheets in the history of Manchester United.
In this game, De Gea ushered in the 162nd clean sheet of his Manchester United career, what is this concept? The goalkeeper with the most clean sheets in United's history will be Schmeichel, who has kept 180 clean sheets, 18 more than De Gea, second with Stepney's 175 clean sheets, and third with De Gea's 162 clean sheets. Fourth was Gary Bailey's 161 clean sheets. Fifth was Van der Sar's 135 clean sheets. I have to say that De Gea is really outstanding, and many fans are still screaming for De Gea.
Look at the players in front of De Gea, Schmeichel has Stam, Johansen, Bruce, Perist and other goalkeepers in front of him; and what about De Gea? In front of jones, Rojo, Blind, Bailly, Smalling, Evans and other defenders, if de Gea is in front of defenders such as Ferdinand and Vidic in these years, then De Gea's clean sheets have definitely surpassed Schmeichel. Now, though, with Maguire and Varane in front of him, De Gea is somewhat relieved.
I have to say that De Gea has really performed well in recent years, and he can be said to be the best performer and most stable player in the Manchester United team. Far from it, let's say that this season, without De Gea, Manchester United may have to score seven or eight points less. Now, De Gea is getting closer and closer to Schmeichel's record. I don't know, can his teammates try to make De Gea break Schmeichel's record next season? The final result, let's wait and see!
