Manchester United returned to action after the international break with a 2-0 victory over Swansea City on Saturday afternoon.
Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez got the goals for Jose Mourinho’s side, who leapfrogged Liverpool back into second-place in the Premier League table, after briefly dropping to third following the Reds’ 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace earlier in the day.
United scored twice within the opening 20 minutes and dominated possession against the relegation-threatened team. However, once again they had to call upon their goalkeeper to save them. David de Gea only faced two shots in the match, but he made two excellent saves, particularly the first one.
Swansea striker Tammy Abraham had both of his efforts saved by the Spanish goalkeeper in the second-half. De Gea flew to his right-hand side to save Abraham’s first shot, pulling off an incredible reaction save.
He then thwarted Abraham again, getting down low to push the Swansea striker’s shot around the post.
The result means De Gea has now kept 16 clean sheets in the Premier League this season.
The Spanish ‘keeper is arguably the best in his position in the world at the moment, and United really need to do everything they can to keep hold of him.
David De Gea has kept more clean sheets in the Premier League this season (16) than in any of his previous six campaigns at Man Utd.
Dave definitely does save. ⛔️ pic.twitter.com/pHgT0OBmOk
