De Gea had a milestone weekend when United secured a 2-0 victory against Huddersfield Town on Saturday. Not only was the 27-year-old making his 300th league appearance for the club but he also kept his 90th clean sheet - more than any other goalkeeper in the same timeframe.

However, how does his other statistics compare to other Premier League goalkeepers?
- Save percentage for keepers with minimum 50 PL games -
1. David De Gea (Man United) - 74.2%
2. Petr Cech (Arsenal) - 73.5%
3. Tom Heaton (Burnley) - 72.4%
- Total number of saves -
1. David De Gea (Man United) - 620
2. Simon Mignolet (Liverpool) - 598
3. Ben Foster (West Brom) - 593
- Minutes per goals conceded, minimum 50 PL games -
1. David De Gea (Man United) - 95

Going by these three groups alone, De Gea appears to be one of the league's best in terms of shotstopping ability and consistency.
