David De Gea is the first name on every Manchester United fan's Christmas list this year after his recent performances between the sticks.

He was a stand-out player in the Red Devils' 3-1 win over Arsenal last week and is arguably the club's best individual.

On Sunday he will be faced with his biggest test so far when Manchester United take on Manchester City at Old Trafford.

The Citizens have found the back of the net a staggering 46 times in the Premier League this season - a whopping 11 more than the Red Devils in the same amount of game.

They're also yet to be beaten, meaning De Gea will be right up against it when United play host to Manchester City.

But the Spaniard doesn't appear to be too nervous going into the game, in fact, it appears he's feeling rather confident.

Ahead of the match the shot-stopper met up with Thierry Henry to talk all things football on a filmed interview for Sky Sports.

And was asked by the Arsenal legend: "Can United stop City?"

It's a good question, and one that we'd all like to know the answer to. It's also a question that, perhaps surprisingly, De Gea had an assured answer to.

Without skipping a beat the Man United keeper replied: "Can City stop United?" Queue utter delight from the Red Devils supporters...
