Spain coach Fernando Hierro insists he has no doubts over Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea.

Hierro has reiterated they have full confidence in De Gea despite his clanger against Portugal in the first World Cup group game.

He said: “I see David as being very calm and he has all our confidence in full.

“Players need confidence and support at all times and my decision is very clear, and I will be fair with every players.

“The squad has had a day off and that helped David relax and step away, because we are more interested with natural methods in our preparations, making sure we get our heads right."
