Quotes from David de Gea

Football is football, and a thousand things can happen.

Being part of such a great club like Manchester United fills you with emotion, and you gradually realise how much the club means to the fans and the people who work here. They really live for the game, so that does become part of you, and you can only appreciate that having spent time here.

It certainly helps that I'm quite a relaxed guy and I take things in my stride, and if you hear the odd murmur of criticism, you just stay focused on your job and doing what you're working hard to do. I've always been confident in my own ability, and that's just as important.

It's all about getting your head down, focusing, working hard, competing in training, keeping fit, and picking up points.

Titles are what I crave.

Even though I didn't win any titles, I have positive feelings about my first season at Manchester United. I have learned a lot, and I think I've made a lot of progress.

The time I spent on the bench helped me to reflect and think. It encouraged me to keep fighting and work.

After a great save or a mistake by a defender, I prefer not to shout on him; I prefer to wait and say it inside of the dressing room. I was always like that. I am relaxed, I try to be normal after a mistake, and when I make a mistake, I don't want people coming to me on the pitch shouting at me.

What matters is the team and all of us being focused on what we need to focus on, which is winning games, rather than contracts or any topics that can be a distraction. What matters is focusing on football.

When you see Zlatan up close, he's even more imposing than on the television. Zlatan is very, very big, very strong, and his control of the ball is incredible. It can seem like he's not there, and then he goes and scores the decisive goal.

I think I have improved a lot since I arrived in England.

That is football. In the end, all clubs spend money.

I had a lot of tough times, and I know what it is. We must move forward, working equally and always strong.

I train every day to be the best goalkeeper in the world; that is my aim.

At the end of the day, we're goalkeepers, and we live with making mistakes. We learn from a young age that you can make a mistake at any point.

Everyone knows Iker Casillas. We have all followed him being at the top level for so many years. What he has done for the national team is something impossible to equal. But I try and learn from him when we are there,and train the best I can.

I think football is evolving, and I think the role of the keeper is becoming more and more important in the game in general.

I came to United to win trophies.

If you are at United, you need a manager with a winning mentality. We had that with Ferguson. Mourinho has it. He wants to win every game.

As a goalkeeper, it is a challenge to face Messi.

You cannot train saving with your feet, but sometimes it is instinct. Sometimes it is quicker to go with the feet; going with the hands is sometimes more difficult. Even when I was young, I would go with my feet, it's something good for me.

Always, even with the U17s in Spain, U19s, we play from the back, and we try to improve on that a lot. So I always enjoy having the ball at my feet.

The style is the same at all levels, which facilitates things: bring the ball out from the back, keep possession, work gaps to create chances. It's like that from the Under-15s all the way through. That's the Spanish way, and it has triumphed.

It would be great to have more Spanish players at Manchester United.
