Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina has given his backing to international compatriot David De Gea following his transfer to rivals Manchester United.
Reina believes that playing in the Premier League with Manchester United will give the youngster a platform to show England how good he is.
“I very much welcome this news because David is a great keeper,” the Liverpool favourite told La Gaceta.
“When it becomes official he is going to start working to prove in the Premier League what a good goalkeeper who is.”
The 28-year-old added: “I know Atletico are looking for a goalkeeper, but I won’t be changing colors.
“I have five-year contract with the Reds and I’m happy at Liverpool.”
