Man Utd keeper De Gea: McNair again impressive

Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea praised Paddy McNair after victory over Everton.

De Gea saved a late first-half penalty in the 2-1 win.

He told MUTV: "I watched his [Baines] penalties before the game but you have to be lucky sometimes. I decided to go to my right and saved the penalty. I think all the saves are important for the goalkeepers to win the games but I think the back four played really, really well. Paddy [McNair] is very young but he's really calm, good with the ball and strong. I think, with Marcos [Rojo], they are really good defenders.

"I think it's a vital three points, really important points for the team to get into the top four. We need to go with the national teams but we'll come back and look forward."
