Alex Ferguson has faith in David de Gea
Posted Monday, August 01, 2011 by The Sun
ALEX FERGUSON is convinced Manchester United are safe in David de Gea's hands.
The £18million signing was cool, calm and collected as United defeated Champions League holders Barcelona in Washington last night.
And Ferguson believes De Gea, 20, will quickly adapt to life in the Premier League following his switch from Atletico Madrid.
United boss Fergie said: "Replacing Edwin van der Sar is very difficult, he was a great goalkeeper.
"But the benefit we have with De Gea is that he is only 20.
"The qualities that stood out for us are his great composure and use of the ball.
"He is quick and agile, which is something we banked on.
"When we assessed him I thought he was the right goalkeeper to take."
