Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea says he's stronger for his first season in England.

De Gea's English has improved and he's also actively building up his frame to cope with the Premier League's physical demands.

"My English is getting better," he told the Guardian. "I understand most things but I find it harder to speak. English football is different, especially for a goalkeeper. It's more aggressive, more physical. It's far, far harder. The ball is in the air more and you get pushed about. And the referees don't blow anything!"
