David de Gea is Manchester United’s Player of the Month for January.
This is the third month of the season that the Spaniard has been named the Player of the Month, having also won the accolade in December for his incredible performances, and this will likely put him in the frame for United’s Player of the Year come the end of the season.
According to ManUtd.com, United’s first choice goalkeeper picked up 67% of the vote, ahead of Scott McTominay (12%) and, Bruno Fernandes (11%) and Anthony Elanga (10%).

De Gea’s form throughout the month was impressive, keeping us in a number of games with his second to none shot-stopping abilities, and managing to keep two clean sheets out of the five matches played.
However, he still has some way to go before reaching Peter Schmeichel’s clean sheet record.
Top clean sheets for Manchester United
Peter Schmeichel: 180 clean sheets in 398 appearances
Alex Stepney: 175 clean sheets in 539 appearances
David de Gea: 162 clean sheets in 469 appearances
Gary Bailey: 161 clean sheets in 375 appearances
Edwin van der Sar: 135 clean sheets in 266 appearances.
