7. David de Gea

Has been the best goalie Manchester United has seen since Edwin van der Sar.  Game in and game out de Gea makes a beautiful save to keep United in the running for a Champions League spot.  When the Spaniard first moved here from Atletico Madrid in 2011 he endured a rough start to the season.  Many fans were left wondering what they really had spent 17.8-million on.  But by now this seems like a huge bargain given the fact he still plays for United even though Real Madrid are interested.  Furthermore he has 71 clean sheets in 192 appearances, while also winning a Premier League title back in 2012-2013.
