On April 18, 2018, De Gea was named as the sole Manchester United player in the PFA Team of the Year for the sixth time. He had previously been nominated in 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011. De Gea has been outstanding this season and is now the first goalkeeper to be voted by his fellow professionals as PFA Player of the Year. The award ceremony will take place on Monday May 7 at the Royal Opera House in London. He has won the award ahead of Liverpool's Jordan Henderson and Tottenham's Harry Kane. The winners were determined by voting from their peers and there was no prize money involved. However, the winner does receive a trophy from PFA chief executive Gordon Taylor and a check for £10,000 (USD $13,500). De Gea has already earned over £150,000 ($200,000) this season after signing new contracts with Man United in June 2016 and July 2017. He has also been selected as MVP by his teammates twice - in 2015-16 and 2017-18. In addition to his work at Man United, De Gea has also featured in 157 games for Spain and has nine goals to his name.
