Man Utd legend Keane believes in De Gea class

Manchester United legend Roy Keane feels David de Gea can make it at Old Trafford.

He wrote in The Sun: "It's been difficult for De Gea and goalkeeper is the hardest position to fill. I wasn't surprised United bought him and, technically, he's outstanding.

"He's been at fault for a few goals but I look at the first one United conceded against Liverpool and I still think the lads around him can give him more support at set-pieces.

"Peter Schmeichel and Edwin Var der Sar made loads of errors but what they could do was deal with it a bit better than a young player. We have seen other keepers come to United, drop a clanger and never really recover from it. We all remember Massimo Taibi. I don't want to compare keepers but believe it or not he was very good, we could see that on the training pitch.

"His confidence was knocked by a couple of mistakes and couldn't recover but once De Gea is backed by the support of the keeping coach and manager, which I'm sure he will be, he'll be OK."
