Fans say ‘he’s still got it’ as De Gea bags MOTM award after string of stunning saves as ex-Man Utd ace’s stats go viral
DAVID DE GEA has “still got it” after performing heroics for Fiorentina.
The Spaniard joined the Serie A side in August having spent a season as a free agent after leaving Manchester United.
But the former Red Devils stopper, 33, has not missed a step and produced a Man of The Match performance against Genoa.
De Gea made a string of sensational saves, the best of the lot coming after tipping Johan Vasquez’s header over the bar.
Incredible stats revealed he is now first in save percentages, second in stops made over 90 minutes, sixth in goals prevented with three clean sheets.
Fiorentina are also on a six-match unbeaten streak with De Dea between the posts as one said: “He’s still got it in him.”
Another fan said: “What a keeper.”
One hailed: “Impressive form well done De Gea.”
Another gushed: “Who would have guessed he would be incredible…”
De Gea also posted on social media: “Big big victory, we continue the chase to our aims.”

He joined United from Atletico Madrid in 2011 and spent 12 years with the club, winning a Premier League title, Europa League, FA Cup and League Cup.
De Gea also won United’s Player of The Season award FOUR times but was overlooked by Erik ten Hag, who instead signed Andre Onana.
Ten Hag has since been sacked with Ruben Amorim expected to leave Sporting Lisbon to replace the Dutchman.
