"He’s insane. I’ve never been with such a good goalkeeper. One thing in matches, he is almost a defence alone at times, and you feel so secure with him. But people have to see him at training. It’s crazy. He saves balls from one yard. Sometimes I am completely speechless by how good he is. It’s like having two goalkeepers in goal with him. He’s awesome. He’s so confident. He knows he is good and he exploits that too. He is exceptional.” Photo: LINDSEY PARNABY

"I must say his double save against Norwich was a match winner. Any keeper who has had very little to do, but can suddenly spring into action and make such a vital contribution to the game must be in a great frame of mind." Photo: Ben Radford
4. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Manchester United manager
“Sheffield United and Chris Wilder have had a big impact on him. He's learning and growing as a human being and as a player. He'll come back one day and he'll have a good career at Man United.“ Photo: Laurence Griffiths
