The irrepressible Spaniard has developed into the world’s best goalkeeper since arriving from Atletico Madrid in the summer of 2011, appearing more than 300 times for the Reds to date.

De Gea earned his first Premier League Golden Glove award in 2017/18 - as well as a fourth Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year award - and hopes to register a first clean sheet of the new season when the Reds face Brighton & Hove Albion at the Amex Stadium.

During the press conference to preview the Premier League match, Mourinho was asked by reporters to comment on De Gea’s value in the current market, in light of other goalkeepers moving for large amounts over the course of this summer.
