David de Gea has been named the Premier League's Player of the Month, becoming the first goalkeeper to win the award in six years

The 31-year-old made 22 saves across four games for Manchester United in January, helping them move up into the top four of the Premier League.

Southampton's Fraser Forster was the last keeper to win the prize back in February 2016.

It marks the first time that De Gea has been awarded the Premier League's Player of the Month in his 11-year spell at Manchester United.

De Gea topped a six-man January shortlist that featured Jarrod Bowen, Kevin De Bruyne, Jack Harrison, Joao Moutinho and James Ward-Prowse.

Though he kept just one clean sheet in January, much like the rest of the season, De Gea produced a number of stellar performances in January.

The month started with a 1-0 defeat against Wolves in a game which De Gea made a string of crucial saves to keep the Red Devils in the game before Moutinho's 82nd minute winner.

De Gea again made a number of excellent saves despite Aston Villa coming from two goals down to get a point against the Red Devils.

The Spaniard was kept busy in the first-half against Brentford who could have been two or three goals up at the break, before United put the Premier League new boys to the sword with three goals in the second-half.

He then kept a clean sheet as United took a valuable 1-0 victory over West Ham to get a valuable three points in the battle for the Champions League spots.

In what has been a tough season for the Red Devils, De Gea has been arguably the club's most reliable performer and United would arguably be in a worse off position if it wasn't for the Spaniard.

Overall, De Gea has the most saves in the Premier League this season. His total of 84 is 13 more than his nearest challenger Illan Meslier

I slept off.

Obembet, after crying your eyes out since yesternight, you ignored your washed out, woeful Cristiano that could not do it against a division 2 team and focused on De Gea instead. Yet, you publicize & criticize Messi for lesser disappearing acts against much stronger teams. Abi we should blame Greenwood again for not passing to CR?

Ojeemah, I think Cristiano should have won the Goalkeeper of the month. He conceded a whopping zero goals and assists for month of January; Simply outstanding

Fun fact: Even though Ronaldo is generally regarded as the most prolific penalty taker currently, he has missed the same number of penalties as Messi in his career. Talk about the impact of hype.

obembet, why didn't create a thread of manchester being knocked out of fa by a 7th position club of championship? fear God small na

He is the Best Three Consecutive Man Utd Player of the Month Then January EPL player of the month.

That confused gender created a thread to spite Messi shortly after the loss to Nice in a shootout but the dingbat don suddenly go awol cos his penalty hunter couldn't find the net yet again.

Their hypocrisy stinks.......Imagine if he had scored, all of them go say naim dey carry man u. Now wey e chop pk still lose join, we no go hear naim dey kill man u ooh.
