This netizen feel that the goalkeeper is capable of saving everything.
Apart from being able to save Woolworths, Blockbuster video and KFC’s chicken delivery issues I reckon @D_DeGea could even save @Brexit !!

After the match, interim manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said, “We had a good back four and David in behind them was unbelievable. You are allowed to have a good goalkeeper. I've played with a few fantastic goalkeepers. We have a tradition of having them and he has grown and grown. He deserves that man of the match today."
