Spanish goalkeeper David de Gea expressed pride after breaking the record for the legendary goalkeeper of the Danish team, Peter Schmeichel Manchester United, in the number of games a foreign player has played with the team.

The Spanish international, who joined the club in 2011, played his 399th game with United on Thursday in all competitions, when his team won 3-0 against Aston Villa, which is threatened with relegation.
"Sorry, Schmeichel," De Gea told the club's website. This means I've been here for a long time and I've been playing very well. I am really proud. I am happy to play for this club so many matches.
"I hope there will be 400 more games to come. So I am really happy. ”
Norwegian coach Olli Gunnar Solskjaer's team has not lost in the last 17 games in all competitions and is one point (58 points) from the fourth place that officially qualifies to the Champions League next season and is currently occupied by Leicester City.
United are facing Leicester in the last stage of the tournament by not facing another opponent competing to participate in the European Championship, third-placed Chelsea with 60 points.
De Gea, 29, made it clear that the mission should be completed and said, "Of course we are very confident now but we have not yet done anything ... We have some important matches ahead now, so we have to be very focused and maintain the level we showed today (during the match with Aston Villa) and in the last four games. "
