Man Utd boss Solskjaer: De Gea wants to win trophies here

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits David De Gea wants to win big trophies with the club.

The Spaniard has won the Premier League with United but not since 2013, and he is yet to lift the Champions League trophy.

United are still alive in the Europa League and FA Cup, but with both those medals already in his trophy cabinet, Solskjaer says De Gea wants to reach the next level.

"He's won the Premier League, he's won the FA Cup, the Europa League, the League Cup, but that is probably not enough for him," said the United manager.

"I don't think he will be happy until he wins the bigger trophies, and staying at Man United in this time and then not having won more, I think that's something that he will feel is a black dot in his career.

"Yeah, he's won his personal awards, but I don't think David is that type who cares about personal awards. I think he wants the team to lift big trophies as well."
