David De Gea has hailed David Moyes as a "great coach" and says he is looking forward to working with him.

De Gea is sad Sir Alex Ferguson has retired and is adamant the players can make sure Manchester United continue to be successful under Moyes.

"We are saddened by the departure of Ferguson, but in comes another great coach with a different style of play, so we will try to follow along the same lines and with the same tone," said the United goalkeeper.

"It's a shame that he went, he was great. But now we have a new coach in David Moyes, who we still don't know. We're all waiting to get back there and see how it is with him."

De Gea, who was speaking in his native Spain on Under-21 duty, was pleased with how last season went and after taking time to settle at Old Trafford, he was voted on to the PFA Team of the Year.

"I'm happy in Manchester," said De Gea, shooting down talk of

"It has been a very good season, and the longer it goes, the better I'm there. I have a contract and hope to be at United for many years."

De Gea has been praised by his predecessor as United No 1 Edwin van der Sar and the Dutchman feels he got stronger as the season went on.

"The first half of the season and the year before, there were some mixed feelings and the gaffer changed it up a little bit to play Anders Lindegaard for three or four games," he said.

"But then David came back in and we stuck with him.

"From that point, his performances grew and he became more important to the team all of the time.

"It has been a good turn around for him in terms of his performances and his own self-confidence in being the Manchester United goalkeeper.

"Of course, the PFA recognition was great, but the main thing you want is to win the Premier League. Personal accolades are nice but the main thing is winning something with the team."
