Since the new coach Lonnick took office, Manchester United's unbeaten result of 2 wins and 2 draws seems to be a pleasant surprise, but there is still a clear gap between the temporary and timely stop loss in the firefighting mode and the standard of getting on the right track, just like against Newcastle, which is fighting to avoid relegation. The draw was not the outcome expected by the Red Devils at first, but after watching the game, it was lucky for Manchester United to get out in St James' Park. Only because there is a man named David de Gea standing in Manchester United's penalty area.

De Gea, who made seven saves, apparently did not replicate his best performance. The Spanish goalkeeper made 14 saves in a single game against Arsenal four years ago, but this has formed a fig leaf for Manchester United. Cristiano Ronaldo's return to the Premiership debut, but with a 4-1 score to educate Newcastle. Times have changed, and had it not been for de Gea's high pick and low gear, the magpie would have become a Phoenix, so much so that Longnick complimented him after the game: "there is no doubt that he is one of the best goalkeepers in the world."

Or four years ago? the Daily Mail once wrote: "how can Manchester United sell the best goalkeeper in football today?" De Gea, who was a father and mother at that time, was flirting with the Galactic battleship, and the Spanish goalkeeper, who had been selected as the best team in the Premier League four times in a row, had been defined by Manchester United as not for sale. and as Ferguson hand-picked No. 1 should be the humerus minister on United's reconstruction road.

With a sense of belonging and the strength of the coming game, it is necessary to extend the future, and the 2015 interview with Sir Alex Ferguson was refined: "I think de Gea can help Manchester United win the Premier League title." But in fact, when Edwin van der Sar's successor first landed at Old Trafford, de Gea was questioned, but Ferguson's support was consistent. And threw out the classic potential theory: "all young players are unstable in the process of growing up."

Time has the final say, but also proved that Ferguson is not wrong. It's not that de Gea won many titles and prestige at Old Trafford, but after the gap from glory to trough, he didn't go around like the unruly Bogba. Nor did he publicly ask for a transfer like Martial, who was demoted as a substitute. As we all know, these two extreme directions have been linked to de Gea, but the result is a different picture: in 2015, because of the "fax machine incident", the distance between de Gea and Real Madrid finally stayed one step away. After the return of young three Lions goalkeeper Henderson to Manchester United, de Gea was once on the bench for eight consecutive rounds, but he never had any potential transfer to communicate with Manchester United. The original words are "my attention is playing for Manchester United".

Whether by chance or by cause and effect, de Gea finally played the role of guardian of the Manchester United penalty area, and the game against Newcastle only continued to make the best of himself. De Gea made six saves in the Champions League reversal of Villarreal's first leg, which was on a par with Cristiano Ronaldo, who dominated Manchester United's first clean sheet in the Champions League this season. so much so that even his opponents paid tribute to him face to face; he contributed five saves in the Manchester City derby, but could not stop his teammates' own goal and Manchester City's own attack. If he is willing to expand the model, Leicester City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Wolves and Norwich have all made more than five saves in a single game. of course, the penalty saved in stoppage time against West Ham also paved the way for the savior's topic. after all, this is his masterpiece after seven years. In this way, it can not only reflect the plight of "equal treatment" in Manchester United's poor defence, but also truly verify the indispensability of de Gea.

Today, it is obvious that de Gea's second spring cannot be attributed to Henderson's unfortunate infection with COVID-19, patience and sacrifice at the beginning of the season. The young Spaniard echoed Ferguson's prediction that "de Gea can guard Manchester United for ten years". Now the impatient man has become a young England goalkeeper, and at the time of the recall, he said, "I will go back to Manchester United to play" disappeared. Or de Gea, who has been criticized for a series of butter hand events in the past, has taught a vivid lesson to the younger generation. It is worth mentioning that legendary goalkeeper Schmeichel had expected de Gea's counterattack: "de Gea was forced to change his playing habits, and in the process of making changes, it is inevitable to make mistakes, if you do not make mistakes, you will not really learn anything."

If the ten-year career of the Red Devils needs a sudden surprise, de Gea is just in time. This season, he has made 60 saves in 17 Premier League appearances, second only to Leeds goalkeeper Melier's 65. Interestingly, the latter is also the focus of Manchester United's recent inspection. De Gea competed against Henderson and fought a secret battle with the younger Melier. At least, de Gea has saved 38 times in the Premier League away game this season, ranking first in the Premier League, including seven must-score goals. This is a report card with gold content.

In this way, it is as if the three-headed and six-armed de Gearon won the best of Manchester United in November, but de Gea, who played in the starting position, has already learned to be humiliated and humiliated. He almost left the team and missed the Europa League last season, not to mention that he has been in the limelight more than once, and what he has lost will come back in another form. At least you have to be who Ferguson thinks he is, and that's his high praise.

As early as 2011-2014, he won the team's award of the month seven times around a group of bigwigs, but Manchester United's current seventh place in the Premier League made the individual award lose its pride, recalling the Manchester City derby. De Gea, who had been busy for a whole game, slapped the player channel angrily and was extremely disappointed. There is a causal relationship between gain and loss, as de Gea said: "I think the most important thing for us is to keep a clean sheet." Lonnick and his team are still groping, but realising the personal value of £375000 a week not only ends the topic that fans used to talk about, but is also one of the key factors to keep each other good.

Now de Gea has a clear view of his thighs, but when will the "picturesque" history of the front court be relived?
