David de Gea equals long-standing Peter Schmeichel record in Man United win over Leicester
manchestereveningnews.co.ukDavid de Gea's clean sheet in the victory over Leicester City on Sunday means that the goalkeeper has now recorded the joint-highest clean sheets for Manchester United.
The Spanish shot-stopper made two spectacular saves for Erik ten Hag's side in the 3-0 victory over the Foxes at Old Trafford, with Marcus Rashford (2) and Jadon Sancho both on the scoresheet for the home side.
De Gea is now level with Reds legend Peter Schmeichel on 180 clean sheets, having made 521 appearances for the club since he arrived from Atletico Madrid in June 2011.
