De Gea: We Always Believe

David De Gea insists the Manchester United players believe tonight's crucial Europa League second-leg match against Liverpool is mission possible, not impossible.

The Spanish goalkeeper, a competition winner with Atletico Madrid back in 2010, has been in imperious form this season and things could have been worse after the first leg last Thursday had it not been for his superb interventions at Anfield, including a stunning goal-line clearance from Philippe Coutinho when another strike for the dominant Merseysiders looked certain.

De Gea, who also starred when United last overcame a 2-0 deficit in Europe, is likely to play another vital role in the quest to turn the tie around and he maintains his team can do it.

"With United, anything is possible," De Gea told the official match programme, United Review. "That’s one of the great qualities of this club, we always believe and always fight until the end. We believe in ourselves and we believe we can be in the next round. "We didn’t play to our best last week, that’s clear and they had a lot of chances and possession. But now we have a chance to put things right at home. We need to improve in all things – both defensively and attacking. We need to fight hard, be aggressive and show our passion. We need to show why we are Manchester United.

"We know we have the quality and we have the belief, and we want to make it a special night for our fans who support us no matter what."
