De Gea: I watched Schmeichel a lot growing up

David de Gea has spoken to MUTV about his top five goalkeepers of alltime.

Peter Schmeichel: “He was one of the best in the world and an unbelievable goalkeeper. He was admired by everyone who watched him. I watched him a lot growing up and now on MUTV! I enjoyed all his saves – it’s difficult to pick one out as the best.”

Gianluigi Buffon: “He always played at the top level [of his game]. When you are a player sometimes you play well and sometimes you play bad but he always played at a good level in every match.

Iker Casillas: “He is one of the best keepers I’ve ever seen in my life. He has helped me a lot. Always when I’m with the national team he speaks with me and helps me a lot.”

Victor Valdes: “I love him. He is a great keeper and a good person. I’ve worked him with a lot for the national team and he is a keeper who always plays really well with his feet.”

Edwin van der Sar: “Edwin was one of the best. He was calm, good with his feet and he played some great games for Manchester United.
