Real Madrid defender Ramos: Spain players fully behind Man Utd keeper De Gea

Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos has claimed that Manchester United keeper David De Gea has the backing of the entire Spain contingent.

The 25-year-old goalkeeper has been hit with sex-party allegations in Spain but has vehemently denied any involvement in the alleged events.

Ramos says all the Spanish players have given De Gea their full support ahead of their opening Euro2016 fixture against the Czech Republic on Monday.

"It was not very nice news to receive but when you're with a teammate he has the whole support of the group," said Ramos.

"We're not going to say anything about it, he has said what he wants to say himself.

"We're very motivated, we want the championships to begin so we can defend our title."
