De Gea handed captain's armband for the first time

In 2011, United swooped in to lure the promising De Gea away from Atletico Madrid. Over the years, the goalkeeper has become one of the best in the footballing world.

Seven years after joining Old Trafford, De Gea was handed the captaincy for the first time for 'Red Devils'. The Spanish international wore the armband against Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium on Wednesday.

United won the 2-0 victory comfortably away from home, and continue their battle to retain second position in the Premier League. De Gea who is yet to renew his contract at United, maintained a clean sheet in the fixture.
