Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea returned to action when started ahead of national team captain Iker Casillas in Spain’s 1-0 win over Macedonia.
It was his first game back since the end of July and the 24-year-old says he is now focused on reclaiming his number one spot with Manchester United.
David de Gea saw a transfer move to Real Madrid break down on the final day and has missed Manchester United’s first four games in the league.
“I felt so good,” De Gea told reporters after the win in Macedonia.
“I hope that I now have some good fortune also with my club.
“The support I received have been so important. I have awesome team-mates.”
Manchester United teammate Juan Mata, who scored the only goal of the
game, was quick to praise De Gea putting his club troubles behind him
to put up a good showing for Spain
“De Gea hadn’t so much work to do but he is always very focused,” he said. “He’s a good professional”
Meanwhile, Del Bosque added that he had no concerns about De Gea being rusty.
“We trust in all of players and, of course, De Gea,” he stated.
“But, overall, we didn’t play well. Our opponent was very good, focused, solid and intense.”
Spain’s victory in Macedonia means that they can seal their place at Euro 2016 by beating Luxembourg next month.
