De Gea backing himself to retain Man Utd spot amid Henderson pressure

David De Gea is backing himself to keep his number one spot at Manchester United.

The Spaniard finds himself under pressure due to number of errors this season, coupled with the emergence of Dean Henderson.

There have been reports that Henderson wants De Gea's spot after finishing his spell at Sheffield United.

But the 29-year-old isn't ready to give up just yet.

"I trust in myself," he said. "I've shown my qualities over the years, so I just keep myself available for the manager.

"I'm always ready to play and try to help the team as usual, as I've always done."
