Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has paid tribute to David de Gea ahead of their clash with Newcastle.

The match will mark De Gea's 500th for the club.

"It is fantastic," said the manager. "If you perform in 500 games for a club like Manchester United, that tells a lot about you. The talent, the personality – so that achievement is huge and I really reward that, I value that, and I want to congratulate him [for] that.

''He has one of the highest standards. He is pushing everyone every time, and to himself he does what he can, he gives 100 per cent, but that is also what we expect from him – that is the demand. He is an experienced player, he is one of the leaders, so we have to show that to push the team, then you have to be the example by itself.''
