De Gea makes defiant statement on Man Utd future after turbulent campaign

David De Gea has no plans to leave Manchester United.

The Spaniard saw his goalkeeping spot under threat last season following the return of Dean Henderson from a two-year loan spell with Sheffield United.

But on the night of his 10-year anniversary with the club, De Gea insists he still has plenty more to achieve at Old Trafford.

"It's been a lot of years at the club and a great source of pride for me to have been able to play for a club like Manchester United for so many seasons now," De Gea told the club's official website.

"But you have to live in the present, I think I still have a lot of years ahead of me at the club, I'm excited about that, feeling strong and I'm very keen to do well.

"I feel great in myself, high in confidence and I think it should be - and has to be - an important season for all of us."
