Old Trafford goalkeeping legend Schmeichel heaps praise on De Gea
David De Gea may have endured his fair share of criticism during his time at Old Trafford, but things most certainly took a turn for the better at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday evening.
The Spaniard put in arguably his best performance in a Manchester United shirt as Sir Alex's Ferguson's men ground out a valuable 1-1 draw in their UEFA Champions League first leg against Real Madrid.
Indeed, you know you must be doing something right when an Old Trafford goalkeeping legend like Peter Schmeichel identifies you as the undoubted man of the match.
The Dane was full of praise for De Gea's display on a hugely significant night in Spain and felt he could have done no more to aid his side's cause.
Schmeichel reserved special praise for the Spaniard's early save from Fabio Coentrao - a finger-tip effort of which the Great Dane himself would have been proud.
