(Reuters) - Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer described David de Gea as the "best goalkeeper in the world" and said the Spaniard had rescued them in Wednesday's 2-1 Champions League win over Villarreal.

Cristiano Ronaldo grabbed the headlines with his stoppage-time winner as United came from behind to secure their first win in Group F but for Solskjaer, De Gea was man of the match.
