Man Utd keeper De Gea sees Elche and hero Nino win

Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea was in the stands for Elche's victory over Segunda Liga rivals Tenerife on the weekend.

De Gea is a member of Elche, along with his father, and took in the game with United goalkeeper coach Emiliano Alvarez. Alvarez is a former Elche coach.

The Spaniard was delighted to see Elche win and took time to have a photo taken with Nino - one of his boyhood idols.

At 38, Nino is still playing for Elche as he closes on 400 games with the club.
