A selection of Manchester United fans on Twitter heaped praise on goalkeeper David de Gea following his heroic display against Roma in the Europa League last night.

The Red Devils won 6-2 in the first leg of their semi-final tie, and it was anticipated that they would secure a comfortable passage to the final.

However, it was far from smooth sailing, and they needed to thank De Gea in goal, who made 10 saves including three from point-blank range.

The Red Devils ended up losing by a 3-2 scoreline in Rome but qualified for their first final under Ole Gunnar Solksjaer with an 8-5 aggregate triumph.

Edinson Cavani continued from where he left off in the first leg with another brace. However, De Gea earned most of the plaudits from the fans.
