Who agrees with De Gea that Man Utd can win the premier this season? And please give us your reason why you think so or not in the comment section below. Continue to see what De Gea said after the cut.
A sixth straight league win leaves them third in the table, five points behind neighbours Manchester City and a further three shy of leaders Chelsea, and De Gea has called on his team-mates to now maintain their current form.
"We have to go step by step, game by game," De Gea told Sky Sports.
"We want to be in first position but we need to keep training hard and playing like this.
"I'm really happy with the three points against Liverpool, of course. We played a very good game, we scored three goals and that's fantastic.
"In the first half I saved two against Sterling and in the second half Balotelli. We scored three goals and it is unbelievable."
Van Persie led the plaudits for De Gea and also paid tribute to United's defensive unit, where midfielder Michael Carrick was a reassuring presence in the middle of a back three.
"I think overall we played a good game and David was outstanding again," he added.
"He was absolutely brilliant, like he always is.
"In those games it is always important to score first. It gives you an extra bit of calmness and I think, although at times we were a bit sloppy, overall we kept the ball well.
"Carrick made a big difference at the back. He is so comfy on the ball. "[Phil] Jones, Jonny [Evans] - all the back four, five played really well. They were very calm."
