De Gea: I’m stronger after Real Madrid farce

“I spent a lot of tough times and I know what it is”.

The ESPN FC crew discuss Manchester United’s performance against Southampton and speculate if they would be top of the table with De Gea in net.

Real Madrid keeper Keylor Navas says his failed move to Manchester United has helped to make him stronger.

The Spanish goalkeeper recently discussed his transfer saga in an interview to Canal Plus as relayed by talkSPORT, he reiterated his views that he is in the ideal frame of mind to lead The Red Devils back to their glory days. We must move forward, working equally and always strong.

“It’s a learning process that football offers, hard moments that make you mature and grow”.

“These are things you learn from the world of football”.

The 24-year-old said he now felt backed and supported by everyone at his club, adding: “Everyone who works for “el Manchester” respects me. You have to keep working in every training session”.

“I wanted to stay but when Florentino left, everything went wrong”.

Speaking at a news conference ahead of Costa Rica’s friendly at home to South Africa on Friday, Navas said: “I have not had anything easy anywhere, because as they say ‘the fish had already been sold’ and I had to swim against the current”.

His future remains in doubt, with suggestions his new contract includes a release clause. However, it was for the better of the club and he has responded really well, helping United remain close to arch rivals Manchester City who now lead the Premier League table.

“I hope we can win trophies”.
