Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea says he is a big fan of the Reds' new summer signings.
Tom Heaton and Jadon Sancho have been added to the United dressing room so far, and that is of course a group that could soon be bolstered further with the inclusion of prospective signing Raphael Varane.
Having been at Old Trafford for a decade now, De Gea is no stranger to welcoming new players to the club and says that it is always a joy to do so.

Speaking to club media ahead of our season kick-off this weekend, the goalkeeper gave his thoughts on our recent incomings, just over 10 years on from his own arrival in Manchester.
“We still have the odd player to join up with the group, but [I’m] delighted with the new signings.”
“It’s always a pleasure to welcome new faces and quality players to add to the group, it’s always a positive,”De Gea said.

The recruit that the Spaniard will likely spend the most time with this season is fellow goalkeeper Heaton who returned to his boyhood club on a free transfer earlier this summer.
The pair have already got to know each other in the time since De Gea returned for pre-season during last week’s training camp in Scotland, and the 30-year-old is now looking forward to working with the England international further over the coming months.

“[I’m especially excited to welcome] Tom, the keeper, who I’m with a lot of more of the time,“ he added.
“He’s a great bloke and a top keeper. He’s really going to bring a lot to the group and let’s hope it’s the same with the rest of the signings too.
“They have great quality and I reckon that it’ll be easy for them to settle in.”
