"We won the game against a top team, we controlled the first half but in the second half they had chances," he told Sky Sports.
"I was feeling very well with the first two saves, it was a great game.
"I don't even remember some of the saves so I can't pick a best. The manager brought some happiness, the players are playing well and the team is very strong now.
"This is the real Manchester United ."
His last six words sent fans into meltdown.
One tweeted: "De Gea: 'This is the real Man Utd' Love that. Very fortunate second half but I would anticipate the over excitement from MUFC fans will be because they have their team back."
Another supporter posted: "'This is the real Manchester United’. I LOVE YOU DE GEA."
A separate fan said: "De Gea just said this is the REAL Manchester United. Couldn’t have said it any better."
