Man Utd boss Solskjaer: De Gea best in the world

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits David De Gea's performance earned them the 1-0 win at Tottenham.

De Gea made a string of superb saves to make it a sixth consecutive win for Solskjaer since taking charge.

The manager said, "[David was] fantastic. Obviously when you make 11 saves that is a top, top performance but then again I thought that one or two were really good saves and then the rest of them you would expect David to save.

"He is the best goalkeeper in the world, I have said it many times. It is about positioning and concentration to be in the right position. Maybe one or two of them were uncatchable, but the saves he makes are because he is so in tune with the game. He is following the game, moving all the time. They don't always look fantastic because he is in the right position."
