De Gea wants to follow in Van der Sar's footsteps © EuroFootball.com

The new goalkeeper David De Gea is eager to repeat the achievements of the legendary Edwin van der Sar, who ended his career at the 'Red Devils' team. A few days ago, De Gea, who joined the ranks of the English champions, signed a five-year contract and will replace the Dutchman who hung up his gloves after losing the UEFA Champions League final to the "Barcelona" team. "In my opinion, representing 'Man Utd,' Edwin was the best goalkeeper in the world," said the Spaniard. "I hope to follow in his footsteps and spend a lot of time here. It would be wonderful to equal his game and contribution. There are differences between the leagues of England and Spain. In the Premier League, the game is based on high passes, the ball is often in the air, so I will have to adapt quickly. I want to be a successful purchase. Everyone wants to become champions in England. I am no different. I really crave that, but I think the name of the Champions League winners is also a real target. That’s what we will aim for."
