DAVID DE GEA has not yet spoken to David Moyes — but is looking forward to working under the new Manchester United boss. The goalkeeper is currently in Israel with the Spain Under-21 team, who play Norway tomorrow in the semi-finals of the European Championship. He said: “Not yet, I will meet him when we return for the pre-season. “I’m looking forward to starting a new era with United and I hope it goes well and that he is successful.” De Gea admitted it would take a while to get used to not having Alex Ferguson around Old Trafford. But the former Atletico Madrid ace sees similar qualities in Moyes. He added: “I am very proud to have had the privilege of working with Ferguson, it was a real pleasure. “He is the best coach of all time and it is something I will be able to tell my children and my grandchildren. “The best advice that he gave me was to simply give my all. “He told me to continue with the same mentality I have always had. I owe a lot of my capabilities as a goalkeeper to him. “It will be very strange because he spent 26 years at the same club, but this is football, and all eras must come to an end. “We are delighted that Moyes is the new coach as he has the same level of enthusiasm as Ferguson.”
