Girlfriend of Man Utd keeper De Gea denies slating Manchester

The girlfriend of Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea denies rubbishing the city of Manchester.

Edurne Garcia has backtracked over claims she said Manchester is "not very nice", insisting that words were put into her mouth by the media.

"It was an incredible revolution but I didn't say that," she told Chance. "They put words in my mouth. I haven't said that.

"I don't know if they are seeking out the news or they want to be controversial, but it surprises me when I saw everywhere this sentence that I have never said. I am delighted with Manchester, I love it, and the city has wonderful corners."
