There are three certainties in life: Death, taxes, and David De Gea saving Manchester United.
The Spanish goalkeeper once again showcased his skills for the Red Devils by pulling off a jaw-dropping double save in the dying minutes of the first half of the game against Sevilla. De Gea recorded eight saves during the game, one of the highest tallies in this year's UEFA Champions League.

In fact, De Gea joined former Edwin Van der Sar as the keepers with the most saves in a UCL game for the Red Devils.

Former footballers couldn't agree more on how De Gea should be considered the best goalie in the business right now.
Scholes on De Gea: “He’s been the best for four years now, he’s saved United so many times, he’s ensured they’ll go through.” #mufc [bt]

Lampard: “I can’t see anyone near De Gea, he’s quite clearly in front of everyone.” #mufc [bt]

Rio Ferdinand on De Gea: “All round he’s the full package. Neuer isn’t as complete as David de Gea is today.”

And yet, there's one thing some Man United fans don't want De Gea to save...
David de Gea can save a lot of things but Mourinho's job won't be one of them.
