and Manchester United's David de Gea are by far the
best goalkeepers in the world.
Former Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson believes
Manuel Neuer and David de Gea are the best goalkeepers in the
world and feels they are as good in their position as Lionel
Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are as outfield players.
Neuer was voted the International Federation of Football History
and Statistics (IFFHS) World's Best Goalkeeper in 2013 and
2014, while De Gea was named the Premier League's top shot-
stopper in both 2012-13 and 2014-15.
"Neuer and De Gea are the best goalkeepers in the world,"
Ferguson was quoted as saying by Kicker.
"And by quite some distance as well.
"You have Messi and Ronaldo as outfield players and then Neuer
and De Gea as the goalkeepers' equivalent."
Ferguson signed De Gea from Atletico Madrid in 2011 when he
was still in charge at Old Trafford and the Spain international
has since made over 180 appearances in all competitions for
United.
He was dropped in favour of Sergio Romero earlier this
campaign as a proposed transfer to Real Madrid fell through,
but was reinstated as United's No.1 after signing a contract
renewal until 2019.
Neuer has been with Bayern since joining them from Schalke in
2011 and has since guided them to three Bundesliga titles, two
DFB Pokals, the Champions League and the Club World Cup.
