Man Utd keeper De Gea happy to fight for place

Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea is happy to fight for his place.

The good form of Anders Lindegaard, who has impressed whenever called upon, has also sparked debate over who is Sir Alex Ferguson's first choice this season. Thankfully, De Gea is enjoying the competition and hopes to produce his best form as a result.

"I'm at a huge club and there are big demands on you," De Gea told United Review. "As a goalkeeper I'm well aware that any mistake can be magnified by the press and the fans. That's always the case for goalkeepers, no matter where you play.

"But it's true that here at Manchester United there's added pressure. It's bigger than it was for me at Atletico Madrid and also for the Spain Under-21 team. It's a challenge that's enjoyable and it ensures you're always striving to operate at 100 per cent."
