Former goalkeeper Nigel Martyn has spoken highly of Manchester United young gun David De Gea.
The 20-year old Spanish gloveman has been a key member of the Red Devils side in recent months with consistent performances in goal after a sloppy start to his Old Trafford career.
De Gea and his United defence have conceded just one goal in their past five league outings to take a five-point lead on top of the Premier League table with ex-Crystal Palace, Leeds United, Everton and England custodian Martyn full of praise for his form.
"He's dealt with his mistakes and taken his criticism. I haven't seen him moan about anything.
"He got his head down and got on with the work which is the right thing to do and now he looks like a much more secure goalkeeper again and Manchester United will need him to be for the remaining games they have to play.
"It's not over with - he has to maintain that level of performance but certainly on a confidence point of view it will be very high, and when your confidence is high, your ability shines through.""It's impressive for somebody so young. You're always better for having to come through a difficult period," Martyn said.
