David de Gea insists that despite Sir Alex Ferguson regularly rotating his goalkeepers, he considers himself to be United's number one.

Notwithstanding his heroics in keeping Manchester United in the game with a number of magnificent saves in their 1-1 draw with Tottenham at the weekend, his feeble punch in injury time led to Clint Demspey's equaliser.
This latest error from the young Spaniard could see him relegated to the bench for Saturday's FA Cup clash with Fulham in favour of his Danish counterpart, Anders Lindegaard.
The former Atletico Madrid shot-stopper believes that a continued run of games will be beneficial for both the club and the player himself.
"From the moment I signed I considered myself the first-choice keeper at the club but it's down to the manager," De Gea told the Daily Mirror. "He rotates us when he feels it's good for the team. But obviously I've played a few on the bounce now and that's positive.
"For a goalkeeper it's always important to have consistency and to be playing regularly. It's good for confidence and morale."
