David de Gea now boasts more Manchester United appearances than any other goalkeeper, with the Spaniard reaching outing 540 for the Red Devils.
A notable landmark was reached by the 32-year-old shot-stopper against West Ham, with said game allowing him to edge clear of United legend Alex Stepney at the top of a notable chart. European Cup winner Stepney spent 13 years at Old Trafford, with De Gea approaching the end of his 12th campaign.
Stepney is still United’s leading appearance maker in league games between the sticks, on 433, but De Gea is now up to 411 and will have another piece of history in his sights as the Red Devils mull over tying him down on a new contract – with his current deal due to expire this summer.
