David De Gea insists he has no problem playing with the ball at his feet.

The Manchester United goalkeeper has been criticised for his distribution over the years.

"What a goalkeeper has to do is to stop goals going in; that's the most important thing," he told UEFA.

"And then, if you have the talent or the quality to be able to play with your feet and have good vision, that's phenomenal.

"I feel very comfortable playing with my feet, playing out from the back, following the lead of my team, but it depends on the coach and the style of play.

"[With Spain we] play with a very high defensive line. I've played this way since I was in the youth teams. [At United] we try to play with a high line, but some players are very fast and very talented, and if the pressing is not good enough, you can have problems at the back

"But for the goalkeeper, you need to be off your line, looking out for any potential pass in behind to be able to help your defence."
