Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea is full of praise for his teammate Edinson Cavani.

The veteran Uruguayan came to United in the summer on a free transfer after leaving Paris Saint-Germain on the expiry of his contract.

He has scored five goals in 20 appearances, and made an impression with his work rate.

Asked about facing Cavani in training, De Gea told MUTV: "He just wants to score goals! He's a really experienced player who has scored many goals for many teams.

"I think everyone has seen his qualities, he always tries to score goals and is always in the box ready to jump on any mistake and take the ball and score. He's a great header of the ball, he presses a lot, he's a great player for the team."
