Rafael Benitez: 'Keylor Navas trusts me'

Real Madrid manager Rafael Benitez suggests that he has goalkeeper Keylor Navas's full trust.

Real Madrid manager Rafael Benitez has claimed that he has the full trust of goalkeeper Keylor Navas.

Madrid had used the Costa Rican international as a makeweight in their deal to sign Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea before the switch fell through on transfer deadline day.

However, Benitez insists that he is happy with his squad and the goalkeepers at his disposal.

The 55-year-old told reporters: "I believe De Gea is a Manchester United player and I have already said before that I am happy with my goalkeepers.

"Keylor knows that I have full confidence in him. I hope that he plays well, he already has my full trust."

Navas could be in action later today as Madrid head to Barcelona to take on Espanyol.
