Victor Valdes is grateful to Manchester United fans for their welcome as he made his debut in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Arsenal.
Valdes came off the bench to replace the injured David De Gea with just over 15 minutes remaining, and was given a vociferous welcome by those inside Old Trafford.
"It felt very good," he told ManUtd.com. "David asked to come off very quickly and the next thing I knew I was on the pitch. It was a great feeling to be on the pitch at Old Trafford, the fans welcomed me very well and for that reason I am happy.
"I wasn't happy with the result because it wasn't a good one for us. It was a lucky goal for them, but I'm happy I made my debut. It was all very quick: David came off and I didn't know what was happening, but then someone said 'Victor, get in there'.
"It's been a good few months; my team-mates have treated me well here. The coach has also treated me well. The truth is that it has all been good. We have an incredible group of fans - to come on and be welcomed like that is incredible for a footballer."
