David de Gea breaks his silence after Europa League final nightmare as Manchester United goalkeeper insists he will 'fight again and win' and thanks fans for support following missed spot-kick against Villarreal

David de Gea has broken his silence after his nightmare showing in Manchester United's Europa League loss by Villarreal - and said he would 'fight again and win'.

The United goalkeeper was unable to keep out any of Villarreal's 11 penalties in a marathon shootout, with the game having been locked level at 1-1 after 120 minutes, and then saw his crucial spot-kick saved.

His failure to find the net from 12 yards handed the trophy to Villarreal and De Gea cut a deflated and dejected figure when collecting his runners-up medal - which he promptly took off.
