Mourinho praises de Gea

CAIRO – 3 December 2017: The great performance of United`s goalkeeper David de Gea in the Arsenal - Manchester United clash of the Premier League has not gone unnoticed for his coach, José Mourinho .

The Portuguese coach admitted in the press room of the Emirates Stadium his praise to the Spanish goalkeeper after his recital of stops against the 'Gunners' (Arsenal).

"I told him after the game that 'after what I've seen today, you're the best goalkeeper in the world.' He made incredible saves," said the Manchester United coach.

Mourinho not only praised the performance of his goalkeeper, but also extended praise to De Gea's opponent in the Emirates game, veteran Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech.

"He also made great interventions, such as when he deflected a shot by Jesse Lingard [Manchester`s winger]. They are two of the best goalkeepers in the world, Petr has a phenomenal history and David will also have it."

The triumph of Manchester United against Arsenal also led to another great number for David de Gea. Real Madrid's goal in the next transfer market equaled a Premier League record, making 14 saves in the same game. From now on, he shares that honor with Vito Mannone and Tim Krul, according to Opta website.
