Van der Sar has faith in De Gea
Edwin van der Sar is confident his replacement David de Gea can cope with the demands of being Manchester United's first-choice keeper.[LNB] The veteran Dutchman quit at the end of last season, leaving Sir Alex Ferguson with a huge task in attempting to avoid the problems created when Peter Schmeichel left in 1999.[LNB]In the end, Ferguson plumped for De Gea, who may only be 20 but has already confirmed his status as one of the world's top keepers.[LNB]De Gea was part of the Atletico Madrid side that defeated Fulham in the 2010 Europa League final and also helped Spain secure the European Under-21 Championship last month.[LNB]And, on a United promotional tour of the Far East, the 40-year-old explained why he thinks De Gea will be a success.[LNB]"They (United) scouted all over Europe and found a couple of targets and they chose de Gea," he told ESPN Star.[LNB]"Hopefully he's going to have a great career at Manchester United.[LNB]"He's very talented. He's already won a trophy with Atletico Madrid and the Spain Under-21 team so the prospect of him doing well is there.[LNB]"Everybody has to be his own person but I've met him. I've spoken to him and it looks to me as though he can handle it."
