Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville believes David De Gea is comparable to three of the best goalkeepers in Premier League history.
Neville believes that the 24-year old Spaniard is up there with United greats Edwin van der Sar and Peter Schmeichel and Arsenal legend David Seaman and feels the Red Devils need to tie him down to a new contract as soon as possible.
"I'm measuring him against van der Sar, Schmeichel, David Seaman - probably the three best goalkeepers in Premier League history," said Neville when speaking Sky Sports 1's Monday Night Football.
"We're seeing a huge improvement. He's always been a great shot stopper, he's been doing that since day one.
"He's winning Manchester United match after match, which is what I would expect from a Manchester United goalkeeper.
"He has now become a great goalkeeper, a fantastic goalkeeper.
"Manchester United are ranked third in the league in the most errors leading to shots but in errors leading to goals they're the best in the league because their goalkeeper pulls them out of the mire every single time.
"It's fantastic performances, great goalkeeping and Manchester United have got to get this lad signed up because he's a big, big player for them now."
De Gea joined United from Atletico Madrid in 2011 and comes out of contract at Old Trafford in the summer of 2016.
