'It's something crazy... it's very, very special for me': David de Gea reveals his enormous pride at reaching 400 appearances for Manchester United as he targets 'another 400 games'

Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea has spoken of his immense pride after making his 400th appearance for them.

The Spaniard, who joined from Atletico Madrid in 2011, reached the landmark during United's disappointing 2-2 draw at home to Southampton on Monday night in the Premier League.

In the previous encounter away to Aston Villa, De Gea also surpassed Peter Schmeichel to become United's record overseas appearance-maker.
