Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea has said that the criticism he has received since being in England is normal.
The Spanish shot-stopper, who moved to Old Trafford for £17m over the summer, has been singled out by sections of the media following a couple of blunders in United's first two games of the season.
The 20-year-old did go some way to ease the pressure by saving Robin Van Persie's penalty in the Red Devils recent 8-2 defeat of Arsenal, but he is convinced that he still needs to win over the critics.
"It feels normal, when you do things wrong, even just a couple of mistakes, the press has the right to criticise even more so when you're a goalkeeper as you are always in the spotlight," he told AS.
"What happened is normal; it is now up to me to change those negative reports into praise. I am looking to improve after every practice session, every match - but mostly I keep intact my confidence in my own ability and what that can bring to the team.
"I am surrounded by good people and that means we can do great things this year. I will continue to grow as a keeper and have the confidence to be a key player."
The Spanish Under-21s international is expected to turn out for the Premier League champions this weekend away to Bolton Wanderers.
