No question. "David still amazes me. I was the same age when I was in the team and I felt the need to shout and scream, and try to control people around me. He's just so relaxed - he doesn't get uptight, things go in, he looks at one or two players and then gets on with the game. "He's got a fantastic temperament and is a wonderful keeper, who makes saves when he needs to. Courtois - okay, he didn't have the best of seasons last year but he's also a wonderful keeper and a bit taller and that bit stronger in the air. So, alongside Manuel Neuer and Gianluigi Buffon, they've got to be up there with the best in the world." De Gea and Courtois will go head-to-head at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, with United boss Jose Mourinho taking his current charges to the stomping ground of his former employers. Both men could have a key role to play in the contest, with there set to be plenty of attacking talent on show looking to find the back of their respective nets.</blockquote>
