Manchester United icon Gary Pallister has no doubts about the qualify of David De Gea.

Pallister, who won four Premier League titles with United in the 1990s, has little doubt De Gea will establish himself.

The former England international claimed that legendary United stopper Peter Schmeichel suffered similar difficulties after arriving from Brondby in 1991.

Pallister told the Daily Mail: "There are similarities. Peter came over with a terrific reputation and found it difficult in his first few games in this league because it's a lot more physical.

"Where he was playing in Denmark or where De Gea was playing in the Spanish league, you're now going to get people standing on your toes at corners or barging you on the goal line to get the ball in the back of the net.

"It's something he will have to come to terms with but it's happened to the very best, so who's to say he won't deal with it? I think he will.

"He looks a very slight lad, he may have to bulk up a little bit. But I think there is belief in the club he will stand in good stead and I think he believes in himself. I think he will be a success."
