How did David de Gea win Premier League Player of the Month?
David de Gea played four Premier League matches during the month of January.
He would keep just one clean sheet in these four ties, in a 1-0 win over West Ham on January 22nd.
But even though he conceded four goals, the Spaniard still put on a number of world-class displays that played key roles in United securing a win over Brentford and a point vs Aston Villa.

Manchester United vs Middlesbrough
Manchester United are now set to face off with Championship outfit Middlesbrough in the 4th round of the FA Cup on Friday evening.
The Red Devils would face off with Aston Villa in the 3rd round, picking up a 1-0 win in the process.
