Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes passed on his congratulations to David de Gea after the goalkeeper chalked up his 500th appearance for the club during Sunday's goalless draw with Newcastle United.

De Gea, who joined United 11 years ago from Spanish giants Atletico Madrid, became just the second goalkeeper in the Reds' history to play 500 games or more for the club, joining legendary shot-stopper Alex Stepney.

De Gea posed with Stepney ahead of his pre-match warm-up for a short presentation, in which the latter was given a framed shirt as a gift for his recent 80th birthday.

Ahead of kick-off, De Gea was presented with an engraved plate by former United manager Sir Alex Ferguson in a special ceremony pitchside.
