Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea is angry being omitted by Spain this past week.

De Gea was one of the more notable omissions from Enrique's squad during the international break, with the former Barcelona boss deciding to call Unai Simon, David Raya and Robert Sanchez up instead.

While Simon has become first-choice under Enrique, De Gea has been one of United's standout performers this season and was reportedly left baffled by the snub.

AS says De Gea did not take the decision at being left out by Enrique well and is upset with the manager, despite Enrique calling him to explain the decision before announcing his squad.

De Gea was not convinced of Enrique's reasoning that he wanted to test younger goalkeepers during the international break.

While De Gea's camp are claiming there was no justification for dropping him, Enrique is suggesting that the goalkeeper did not want to be called up again until it becomes clear what his role in the team is.
