No votes for David De Gea for FIFA’s Best Goalkeeper award

Manchester United fans are not happy.

While it's nice to be acknowledged by your peers, we're certain that most footballers don't particularly care about being shortlisted or nominated in these various FIFA/UEFA lists of the world's best player, striker, defender etc. Ultimately, footballers at the very top level are only concerned with one thing, winning. They know that they can win a match in an instant and that's what sets them apart from the rest. Cristiano Ronaldo may have come away with the top accolade, but some very questionable votes were cast.

On this note, Manchester United fans were left flabbergasted after David De Gea received no votes in FIFA's 2017 Best Goalkeeper award.

Last season, the Spanish 'keeper only conceded 29 league goals - that's the second best defensive record in the Premier League - and yet the Manchester United shot-stopper was overlooked in that particular category. Gianluigi Buffon won the award with 42.42% while Manuel Neuer claimed second place with 32.32% Elsewhere, Real Madrid's Keylor Navas finished third with 10.10% of the votes while Chelsea's Thibaut Courtois registered  9.09% of the overall tally. Despite the fact that seven names make up the joint-ninth position on 0%, the former Atletico Madrid player isn't featured. Somehow, the error-prone Claudio Bravo did enough to make the list along with Man City's new 'keeper, Ederson. Manchester United supporters were quick to voice their disapproval about this glaring ommission. https://twitter.com/SimonPeach/status/922583235556724736 Naturally, it didn't go down well. https://twitter.com/danielstorey85/status/922735162026287106 https://twitter.com/_Thaaks/status/922554072737206273 https://twitter.com/VintageLukaku/status/922539589507649536 https://twitter.com/JKwhoelse45/status/922753517042855936 https://twitter.com/David_HB11/status/922743989798932480 https://twitter.com/jonnyescott/status/922740087162630144 https://twitter.com/brannyrovers1/status/922742880023826432
