Tipped by many as the successor to Iker Casillas as Spain’s long-term goalkeeper, De Gea was the captain for the Spain u-21 national team that won the European Championship in 2011 and 2013, and also competed in the 2012 Summer Olympics. He made his debut for the senior team in 2014 and was selected for the World Cup. De Gea was named Spain’s starting goalkeeper at the 2016 European Championships, as well as the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
The 2018 FIFA world cup was the turning point in David’s goalkeeping career. He had the lowest moment of his goalkeeping career after he conceded 10 goals from the 14 shots on target he faced in the competition. The latter statement implies that he only saved less than 29% of the shots he faced in the showdown event.
Since then, De Gea never really got to his personal best, he has had several errors leading to goals at his club Manchester United. The most notable of the errors came from a 2-0 thrashing against minnows Watford.
Following his dip in form, Manchester United had to focus their eyes on the academy graduate Dean Henderson, who was on loan at Sheffield United. United recalled the young shot stopper from the loan at the beginning of the 2020-21 season. The move left speculations about De Gea’s future at Manchester United.
Dean Henderson has had limited opportunities in goal but has shown a glimpse of what he is made of.

Dean has made a couple of crucial saves that have helped United maintain their lead in several matches. Henderson’s ball distribution skills are also wonderful as he has had a pre-assist in the West Ham united game. He also made a crucial throw to set up a Luke Shaw goal in the Manchester derby. Dean is currently a fan favourite at the club.
