Mark Schwarzer does not sound like he’s a big David De Gea fan

Country mile

Jeez, tell us what you really think.

Fletch & Sav (the collective name for Darren Fletcher and Robbie Savage) thought they had a good debate on their hands.

Manuel Neuer or David De Gea – who is the best in the world?

Unfortunately for them, they let Leicester City goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer answer first. The former Fulham and Chelsea goalkeeper did not hold back with his reply:

“Neuer all day long. He’s a phenomenal goalkeeper.

“[He’s better by] a mile, in my opinion.

“If you look at his overall game, his reading of the game, he has the higher stats on the pitch, he plays as a sweeper and also as a goalkeeper. His presence is enormous and he’s a huge, huge athlete.”

Neuer does pass just about every test, except one. Can he keep out a Shane Long thunderbolt?
