Manchester United wing-back Ashley Young is convinced David de Gea is the best goalkeeper in the world.

De Gea's latest memorable moment came in Saturday's goalless draw at Liverpool, where he somehow kept out Joel Matip's point-blank effort with his foot.

Young was asked about the save and De Gea's overall position in world football by MUTV and the United man was in doubt about where the 26-year-old ranks.

"I don't think there is [anyone better]," Young told the club channel. "I said a few seasons ago I thought he could be the world number one and I think he's shown that he is now."
