Click here to read Adam Crafton's special report on De Gea's journey from Spain to Manchester. Manchester United fans have picked goalkeeper David de Gea as the club's Player of the Month for October, with the Spaniard picking a whopping 70 per cent of the votes in an online poll. Despite failing to keep a clean sheet during the month, De Gea was in fine form as United beat Everton before drawing away at West Brom and at home to Premier League leaders Chelsea. The 23-year-old kept out a Leighton Baines penalty and pulled off two memorable late saves to deny the Toffees a point at Old Trafford, before notably thwarting Eden Hazard when the Belgian was clear through on goal during United's 1-1 draw with Jose Mourinho's side.
