The Spaniard made a string of fine saves to deny Harry Kane and Co as United held on to their lead after going ahead courtesy of a first half goal from Marcus Rashford at Wembley. And his fellow Red Devils were clearly grateful, taking to social media to praise the stopper's performance. Romelu Lukaku shared this cartoon of David de Gea following Sunday's win at Wembley 'Man like @d_degeaofficial', wrote Romelu Lukaku as he shared a cartoon of De Gea pulling a barrier down to cover the goal with the words 'sorry, closed on Sunday' written on it. Midfielder Ander Herrera followed suit, posting a photo of himself and the goalkeeper hugging at the final whistle with the caption 'no words @d_degeaofficial'. He would later share a story from the team coach, placing a top hat emoticon on De Gea's head. Compatriot Juan Mata went for a sarcastic approach as he responded 'nah, average' to De Gea's tweet about it being a 'perfect night'. He then wrote 'I know you all felt like me' in response to a clip from Sky of himself staring in amazement at De Gea at the end of the game with the caption 'find someone who looks at you the way Juan Mata looks at David De Gea'.
