I'm one of his biggest critics. But got to say he was great today fair play.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) look forward to a new life under Ruben Amorim. What system will we be playing? What players will impress? and how will it all go? We also say goodbye to Ruud Van Nistelrooy and review United's 3-0 win at home against Leicester City.

Agreed on all that.
The post about him and Wembley before the match, jfc. I shouldn't open this thread.
He's having a very good season.
Magnificent today.
Great as usual. De Geaters raging.
He’s great at what he does. Peak age for a goal keeper. Has a couple of years at the top.
Another game, another crucial save, even could've had a nice assist. Spanish Roy Carroll according to the CAF though.
Having a great season.
One of the inswinging corners he did really well to punch away. Needs to keep working on that.
Good game. Good saves, also got two crosses. Save on Saint-Maximin was game defining. That low cross he grabbed was nice. Almost got an assist with ball over the top. Good game.
You don't have to be, surely. If De Gea moves to the left during a header, and the header goes in the left top corner and he saves it "spectacularly" seemingly unnecessarily so, and you might see your own point here, but his positioning is what makes those saves look 'easy' to you in the first place. He makes a lot of reaction saves just above his head or within his reach, and it might look easy because of positioning himself correctly.
Replace DeGea chaps are quiet today.
Not really. As usual, De Gea was terrible with his distribution.
Luckily, that didn't cost us any goals. But he sent Dalot, Rashford and Shaw in dangerous situations because he can't execute diagonal balls like a modern keeper.
Saving two shots and claiming a low cross is way less than what we should expect from the world's best paid goalkeeper.
I think it is time you judge him by his performances, not by stats that do not have enough data points to mean anything conclusive.
He was very good three games in a row now, today he way near perfect. Feck the stats.
We just won a pot, have a day off mate.
Well done Dave
I'm super happy for the team. De Gea included. This is the first of many trophies for Ten Hag's boys.
But that doesn't make the facts not true.
Some big moments today, back amongst the silverware davey boy.
Almost like people are busy enjoying the cup win. Imagine.
Which facts?
Watch Ederson and Ramsdale play in players under pressure, with much more risk than David did today. Are they ‚lucky‘?
Thought he was solid as feck for us today. Very good performance. Legend of the club and people will miss him dearly when he's gone.
The most clean sheets has gone unrecognised apparently.
In the De Gea era, it is quite remarkable

Couldn’t have said it better. Was just on his wiki page, reminded me. 12 seasons now. he is a legend
Not all..
There always has to be one
He wasn’t the best keeper on the field today. His distribution was shocking again as usual. But we won the trophy so hooray! Onto the next one
Oh do one he was great.
Considering how many times he had teams that were not so good in front of him, surpassing the old clean sheet record is already a very special feat to his career. Twelve years, man! Time really flies by quickly.
What did he do that made him ‘great’. Did he make outstanding saves that most keepers can’t make? No…was his passing great? Definitely not. Not a single high claim. He did have one sweep fair enough
forgot about the punch straight to the Newcastle player

Yep. He needs to work on his punching technique & not flail for the ball.
So happy he got the record tonight.
He had good saves, grabbed crosses and didn‘t pass it to the opposition. Almost got an assist with a long pass. That‘s good enough for me.
Did you expect him to clear a cross with a bicycle kick?
This is what he expected:
And that's what he saw as well! It's sad, United will never win a trophy with a keeper worse than Karius

Rating for DeGea this game is 7.6 right now. I gave him an 8.
Can't believe a few bit at this
Gets the record in a final, what a player he has been for this club. He will go down as a legend in my eyes.
Great player! Now that the team is functioning right, we can win a lot of trophies with him.
Nonsense. I think we can upgrade on Dave but he was fantastic today.
Almost got an assist to. So clearly his distribution wasn't shocking.
He beat Peter Schmeichel's clean sheets record! What a day!
Yep,that's my point.
One of his first thoughts was to post that post-game after we won a trophy
The other keeper flapped at both goals and while the 1st is hard to save, all he needed to do for the 2nd was standing up instead of dropping on his rump, so...
