David De Gea

The latest claim by Watford first team goalkeeper, Ben Foster is that the Lionel Messi of goalkeeping is currently with the Manchester United squad, in the person of David de Gea.

The performance by De Gea when United visited Watford on Saturday impressed Foster that he was left with no choice than to liken him to the Barcelona star as the world best goalkeeper.

The Spaniard was seen to have helped the Jose Mourinho men with his astonishing saves that handed United all three points in the game. The game ended 2-1.

Foster, while speaking to Sky Sports, described the former Atletico Madrid stopper as the most natural goalkeeper currently in active football, adding that “He is the Messi of goalkeeping.

He stated that the Spanish stopper does fantastic saves all the time and now looks like a normal thing for him to do.

Foster said the best recommendation he will ever give to young and coming goalkeepers who really wants to learn and grow quickly is to always watch David De Gea because he is world class and the best.

He maintained that the brilliance of the United keeper cannot be compared to others in the league and Europe at large.
