He's definitely earned them.

David De Gea was a bit pleased after United's 2-1 win over Liverpool on Saturday, as you can clearly see from his tweet after the game. https://twitter.com/D_DeGea/status/972506048253882368 Amidst the typical thousands of replies, however, was one that stood out. After all, he probably wasn't expecting to come across his mini-me doppelgänger. https://twitter.com/franpasque/status/972532949307543552 The young man's facial hair is really quite impressive for his age, there's no denying it. He must be what, 8 years old? With a full beard? Incredible. What a barnet, too. De Gea did however spot one little error in the fan's spitting image ensemble - the fact that he wasn't wearing any boots. Fortunately, the Spanish goalkeeper was quick to sort it, like he would a teasing deep cross to the far post. A great gesture, David. I'm stood at my desk clapping you off. https://twitter.com/D_DeGea/status/972801794077274112
