​Man Utd midfielder Herrera: Forget Buffon, Neuer - De Gea best in the world

Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera says that his compatriot and United teammate David de Gea is the best keeper in the world, ahead of the likes of Manuel Neuer, Gianluigi Buffon and Marc-Andre ter Stegen.

Herrera says that De Gea is the kind of keeper who can single-handedly win you points.

He said: "For me, he is the No. 1. I respect all the keepers like Manuel Neuer, Gianluigi Buffon and Marc-Andre ter Stegen, but David right now is the No. 1 in the world.

"He is very calm, and that is the thing that always surprises me the most about him. He has that quality. It comes from God. He makes a difference.

"It makes a difference when you have a keeper who wins you points. He is one of the few keepers who can give you points."
