Plenty to do so far! Mostly with his feet.
Had some ridiculous overhit balls to contend with too.

He's done well so far considering how many dodgy back passes he's been forced to deal with.
Playing a brilliant match so far.
Irreplaceable if he goes
Irreplaceable if he goes
Thought he actually did quite well today despite the 2 goals.
Still almost managed to save that 2nd one.
Would've been an outrageous save.
Good game overall in the sweeper role he's getting very good at. Enables us to play a higher defensive line and press better.
True. His defence weren't helping him, but he coped very well. He's so much more composed in general than he was when he first came here.
As RAWK would say. Great assist of the assist from Big Dave
His sweeping has gone from being a bit poor tbh to fantastic. He's adding new facets to his game all the time.
I dunno if he should've kept Agueros second out. But Souness has a point, he flew under the radar today. I really should've rated him higher in the post game.
Come to the conclusion that we just cannot replace him... Only Courtois and Neuer can compete with this guy
His anticipation and timing to come out off his box is Neuer-esque. Prevented some dangerous 'ball behind defence'. As other said, where can you get another Gk like him (that realistically available)?
It would have been a disgustingly good save if he'd kept that out, right up there with that Torres one that was behind him and he got a full hand on.
Boss at the back, Real can keep their offerings of Welsh Wingers and French CB's.
Surely that was Fellaini though. Shouldered it to Herrera who got the real assist.
De Gea got the assist of the assist of the assist.
Assistception.
He would be a fool to leave this team now, with the re-building in the summer. A total fool.
If securing top 4 results in him signing a 5 year deal it'll be just as big a result as being in the CL.
Those backpasses are killing my nerves, but Tall Dave never lets us down. I went from "What the shit is that pass" to "Holy shit we scored" in 30 seconds. He's so good in positioning lately, shame he could not save the second goal, but I won't hold it against him.
Yeah him signing will arguably be the biggest transfer coup we'll make this summer.
Agreed. And I'm still hoping that's the only reason for his hesitation in signing (which would've been fair enough).
I also think we're not far off being able to fend off Real Madrid, the way the two leagues are going financially.
can't see him going he loves it here, we are finally winning the toughest games, why he should go to Madrid where everyone will boo at him.. We are going for the title next season.. and champions league possibly if we manage to add right players. I am sure De Gea will be up to the challenge and he will be better paid here I guess
Yes I'm hoping that's the main reason why he hasn't signed a new deal, it's just that he wants to playing Champions League football next season.
He needs to ditch that Spanish bird and hook up with a local lass.
He's staying. The passion he showed at the end was of someone who loves where he is. Sign him up ed!
There's no one on the Earth i would swap DDG for let alone Gareth fecking Bale. I just hope securing CL football will result in a contract extension. That would be massive.
He loves us!

Should have saved the second goal, not good enough for Madrid......
Anyway, love him. Was always confident he would save Navas one on one attempt (total opposite to Mata).

His kicking has improved leaps and bounds, he's quick off the line and his starting position is much better!
I feel like he's doing well with the Hoek and learning from Valdes also.

He's ice cold and so composed when coming off the line to clear or collect the ball.
He was sweeping today really well, more than I ever remember him doing. It's something I've always been a bit unsure about as he usually likes to stick on his line, but credit to him he saved 2 possible goals by being alert. If he can get Neuer style sweeping to his game he will be unbreakable!
If he stays here for a long time he could not only become the clubs best ever goalkeeper but also a genuine United legend.
The way he celebrated those goals was fantastic 
He obviously loves us but has a decision to make in regards to moving to Madrid. Hope he stays a few more seasons with us.

I thought he had saved that second goal! Would have been absolutely outrageous if he had. Was very good I thought. Don't care about this Bale and cash deal or whatever, Madrid can stick Bale. I wouldn't give up Dave for anything.
I hope Casillas plays a blinder from now until the end of the season.
Clearly the best keeper in the world. He's developed from this agile little guy with good reflexes to this monumental figure at the back for us. His passing stats must be in a league of it's own for a keeper. His decision making with rushing out combined with his athletic ability to actually pull it off is also a class of it's own. The fact that he almost saved Aguero's goal today blew my mind. I'm really trying hard to figure a flaw to his game at this point in time and I have nothing. I can't say that about any player in their respective positions except for Messi.
Please stay David
