Spain grooming Man Utd keeper De Gea to be new No1

Spain coach Vicente del Bosque admits he sees Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea as their future No1.

De Gea replaced Real Madrid keeper Iker Casillas for Spain's Euros win over Luxembourg.

"I wouldn't want it to be seen as any different than with the rest of the team; we planned to make changes and we want a smooth transition in goal," said Del Bosque.

"That meant respecting Iker by allowing David de Gea to gradually make his way into the side, provided they both keep playing regularly for their clubs."
