The Spanish stopper has now added one more feather to his hat as he has been voted as the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year Award by the fans of Manchester United. Having clinched the accolade for the fourth time, David De Gea becomes the first Reds star to win it in three consecutive seasons between 2014 and 2016. As per the official website of Manchester United, “There were more than 107,000 votes, with De Gea receiving two-thirds of the final count (67 percent). Jesse Lingard came second (10 percent), while Romelu Lukaku was a close third (eight percent).

It's difficult to say with words what Manchester United means for me. For anyone. It's amazing to play for this club, with the history of this club, for the fans, for everything. It's amazing to be part of this club,” said the 27-year old while receiving the award.

"It was a bit hard at the beginning but I believed in myself and I work hard and train hard and, until now, I am proud of myself too. Of course, I want to say thanks to everyone. I didn't expect to win one but now I have won it four times so it's amazing for me. Thank you," he said on a concluding note.De Gea also took to Instagram to share a picture of himself with the trophy. He captioned the snap, “One more time.... THANKS 😁🏆.”
