Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea says he's learned to live with fans expectations and fame.

De Gea won the club's Player of the Year last season.

He told manutd.com: “When you're famous – like an actor or footballer – and they know you nearly everywhere, you have to live with this.

“At the beginning, it's a bit tough and a bit strange. You lose a bit of your privacy but that's life.

“You have to deal with that and that means you are doing very well. That's great as well."

De Gea also said: "You make one very good season then people want you to be even better than the one before, so the pressure is there and that's probably a good thing and a bad thing at the same time.

“But that makes you feel alive and makes you try to improve yourself."
