De Gea fires warning shot for City rivals

Manchester United keeper David de Gea has a message for their City rivals – you have not won anything yet.

The Citizens are currently top of the Premier League table, holding a five-point lead over their neighbours, thanks in part to a 6-1 demolition of Sir Alex Ferguson’s side at Old Trafford.

But de Gea is not ready to concede their crown just yet.

“United can still win it all. It’s still not decided that City will finish first,” he said.

The 21-year-old has been tested since his summer arrival from La Liga outfit Atletico Madrid, sometimes swapping duties between the sticks with Anders Lindegaard.

However, de Gea believes his experience so far in England has vastly improved him as a footballer.

“What I have learned since the summer in England is more than most of my professional career in Spain,” he said.

“It’s another world in all of the concepts.”

“I didn’t play in the past weekend, but Ferguson told me it was just so I could rest. He’s an incredible coach and without doubt the best in the world.”

The Spain Under-21 captain will be looking to take back his place in the United goal when the Red Devils take on Swansea on November 19.
