Man Utd news: David de Gea is not world’s best goalkeeper - Mark Bosnich
MANCHESTER UNITED goalkeeper David de Gea is NOT the best goalkeeper in the world.
GETTY
That is the view of former Manchester United and Chelsea goalkeeper Mark Bosnich.
De Gea has been in stunning form this season and helped his side to their 3-1 win over Arsenal last Saturday with a string of fine saves.
The Spaniard kept out the Gunners on 14 separate occasions, the joint-highest amount of saves in a Premier League match since records began.
Since the performance against Arsenal, many have claimed there are no better goalkeepers around than De Gea.
I’d still have Buffon ahead of De Gea as number one
However, Bosnich still believes Juventus legend Gianluigi Buffon, at 39, is better than United's De Gea.
“I think David De Gea would definitely be in the top-three,” Bosnich told talkSPORT.
“He was absolutely outstanding against Arsenal.
“Making 14 saves - it was a really great performance from David de Gea and you if you’re going to win a title you need a goalkeeper who is going to save 20 or 25 points a season.

“There is no team who has won a title without a great goalkeeper between the sticks.
“But, you’ve got to think of Gigi Buffon, regardless of his age.
“He came in fourth place for the FIFA Best Player awards this year and was awarded the Best Goalkeeper award.
“I know we don’t see him play as much as Premier League goalkeepers, but I’d still have Buffon ahead of De Gea as number one.”
