Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea admits he's spying the club captaincy.

De Gea has agreed a new 375,000-a-week deal with United, which will be signed when he returns from the club's pre-season tour.

I've been captain for some games," said the Spain No.1. It's amazing to be captain of a club like Manchester United and defend this badge.

It's amazing so, of course, I'll be really, really happy to captain.

It's my ninth season and I feel like one of the most experienced players.

I need to show that on the pitch and try to help the young guys know what Manchester United means and that's important.

We have to improve a lot. We're Manchester United, we need to fight for trophies.

When you put on this badge, that's what it means - fight for everything, give your best and bring the team again to the top."
