Manchester United legend, Gary Neville has picked goalkeeper, David de Gea, forward, Cristiano Ronaldo and midfielder, Fred as the club’s best players in the 2021-22 season.

He, however, picked De Gea as his overall best.

Neville, a former United captain, was among several former players of the club asked of their opinion on who should be named the Red Devils’ best player of the season and he believes there was only one choice in a largely underwhelming and disappointing campaign.

He told the Man United website, “How many times has David De Gea won it since Sir Alex [Ferguson] left? I’m going to go for De Gea, to be honest with you.

“The only other two I could think of would be Fred and Ronaldo. We’d be in dire straits without Ronaldo’s goals but I think, without De Gea, we’d be dead!

“I could say Ronaldo…Who’s the favourite, is it Ronaldo? I’d go De Gea, Ronaldo, then Fred, in that order.”
