Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea is excited about Spain's Olympics campaign.

De Gea is surprised at the suggestion that for a footballer the Olympics do not really hold that much that attraction.

"This is a huge event, worldwide," he told the Guardian, "one that has enormous repercussions.

"They're attractive, they're attractive," he insists. "We're talking about a unique competition; special, completely different. One we're taking very seriously."
