Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea believes that he is carrying "added pressure" on his shoulders due to the status of the North West club.

The Spaniard, who had an inconsistent start to his career at Old Trafford, is currently sharing the number one spot with Anders Lindegaard.

"I'm at a huge club and there are big demands on you," De Gea told the United Review. "As a goalkeeper I'm well aware that any mistake can be magnified by the press and the fans. That's always the case for goalkeepers, no matter where you play.

"But it's true that here at Manchester United there's added pressure. It's bigger than it was for me at Atletico Madrid and also for the Spain Under-21 team. It's a challenge."

The 22-year-old joined the Red Devils last year.
