Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon recently won the FIFA Best Goalkeeper Award for 2017 but the major talking point of this particular award was the fact that Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea somehow did not make it to the list.
De Gea did not receive a single vote as a result of which he was unable to make it to the top 15 list. And this has left the United fans fuming over the bias voting that has happened at the awards ceremony.
Here are some of the Twitter reactions that followed after the list was announced:

Manchester United were enraged over the fact that City goalkeeper Claudio Bravo made it to the list even after having a not so good season at Manchester.
