Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is delighted with the form of David de Gea.

Solskjaer admits De Gea was in contact before preseason about his situation.

The manager said, "He did call me in the summer to end his summer holiday earlier and come back and start his pre-season before, he wanted to be ready, the best possible version of himself.

"Last season was a challenging one, he didn't play as many games because Dean (Henderson) came in and did very well.

"David has really worked, focused, physically and mentally he's better and when you feel you've done the work, personal best, a few physical tests, it gives you more confidence and motivation. He plays behind a strong back four but to play in front of David when he's in this form is good for them."
