The Premier League Golden Glove has officially been awarded to David de Gea for the second time in his Manchester United career.
Despite the team's ups and downs during the 2022–23 season, Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez have helped Man Utd to generally remain strong at the defense. The two, together with De Gea's improved goalkeeping abilities, have allowed the Man Utd starter to accumulate 16 league shutouts.
No goalkeeper can now pass De Gea in the race for the Golden Glove after the Spaniard recorded his 16th clean sheet in Saturday's 2-0 victory over Wolves at Old Trafford.
Alisson Becker, Nick Pope, and Aaron Ramsdale still have a chance to surpass De Gea's record, but with three games left in the season, they are now three clean sheets behind.
De Gea has won the Golden Glove twice while playing for Manchester United; the first time was during the 2017–18 campaign when he recorded 18 shutouts.
De Gea's future at the club is still up in the air despite his recent success. The terms of his contract, which is due to expire at the end of the current campaign, are still being worked out.
However, 90min recently stated that the club and goalkeeper were close to agreeing on a new contract with more favorable conditions.
Man Utd supporters have recently questioned whether the team should extend De Gea's contract, with errors in defeats to Sevilla and West Ham proving to be particularly concerning.
He has the most clean sheets in the league, therefore we wouldn't be in this situation without him, said United boss Ten Hag, who also reaffirmed his unflinching support for the goalie. He has my whole trust. No issues at all. It occurs, but as a team you must handle it, display character, be tough, and recover. He should remain and have his contract renewed, please.
