Manchester United defender Phil Jones insists he never had doubts about teammate David de Gea in the early months of his English career.

For many, De Gea is the best performing keeper in the game at the moment.

Asked if he ever doubted De Gea's quality in his difficult first season at Old Trafford, Jones told manutd.com: "Not for me! He pulls out some unbelievable saves and in terms of positioning, he is fantastic as a goalkeeper. You know he is there and nine times out of 10, he is going to make the save for you.

"He is in the top three in the world for me."
