De Gea hoping Spain start will boost United prospects

The goalkeeper has yet to see a single minute of game time for his club this season but started for his country in Macedonia on Tuesday.

David de Gea admitted that he is now hoping to be afforded some game time at Manchester United after getting a run-out for Spain on Tuesday.

The goalkeeper has been consigned to the stands for the first four matches of the new Premier League season.

United boss Louis van Gaal said the 24-year-old was not in the right frame of mind to play because of the uncertainty surrounding his anticipated move to Real Madrid.
