De Gea's performance was so good on the evening that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer felt the need to pay tribute to him after the game.

"Thankfully we had the best goalkeeper in the world tonight," Solskjaer said, per Goal. "David was fantastic. Second-half, they had more of the ball, it was open and they deserved to lead.

Ole still under pressure at Man United?! Check out the latest news on The Football Terrace...

"Old Trafford is magic. Champions League at Old Trafford... sometimes that history can help us and tonight Cristiano came up with a good goal and Alex [Telles] came up with a fantastic goal.

"[De Gea] had a difficult summer. He went to the Euros and didn't play there, but he's really come back with a determination, a work rate, that I enjoy. Again, he got a deserved outcome.

"He saved us tonight. We have to be realistic and say that we've got two good keepers in Tom [Heaton] and Dean [Henderson], but today David deserves Man of the Match."
