Moyes Delighted With De Gea

Manchester United boss David Moyes has been delighted with how David De Gea has performed since he took charge.

United have been less than convincing so far this season but De Gea has been one of their most consistent performers.

They came from behind to beat Sunderland 2-1 at the weekend and starlet Adnan Januzaj took the plaudits for his brace - but one outstanding save from De Gea to keep out Emanuele Giaccherini was crucial.

"He is improving all the time. You can see he has great agility and he needed it to make that save," said Moyes.

"It is one of the best I have ever seen as well," said Moyes. "It was incredible. I said it on the bench right away, what a save it was. It's an amazing save, it really is.

"And that was a turning point. I didn't think we deserved to be losing but had we gone 2-0 down, then it would have been a mountain to climb.

"Obviously it would have given Sunderland a great boost. When Sir Alex Ferguson brought David in, there probably were a few seasons when it might have been a bit rocky but I think he has definitely established himself now.

"I have been really impressed by his athleticism and he is still a young goalkeeper.

"I thought the old manager was brave to bring a young goalkeeper in; it is actually hard to bring in young goalkeepers and young centre-halves. Hopefully David will feel the benefit of that in the years to come."
