De Gea believes Man United can win the title this season

David De Gea confident of challenging for the Premier League title this season.

De Gea makes a bold prediction of Premier League title glory and believes the title race will be open with a number of teams in contention.

The Red Devils are unbeaten in their last five games of the Premier League.

Solskjaer’s side secured a 0-0 draw in the Manchester derby on Saturday and are currently 8th in the table and only five points off the top with a game in hand.

“I think, defensively, we were perfect,” De Gea told MUTV after the Manchester derby.

“They didn’t create too many chances, maybe two or three big chances, but I think, against them, it was defensively a great game.

“So we need to be happy, of course, for the clean sheet but maybe it’s not enough, you know. We played at home, we always want to win, especially against Man City, so I think we missed a big chance to beat them.

“But against players like [Kevin] De Bruyne, [Raheem] Sterling, good players, you have to be focused for the 90 minutes. So we did it, I think we showed our confidence in defence. I think the players played really good.

“For me, the most important thing in the team is the defensive part so we showed again that we can defend good.

“We can be very strong in the back four and I think, the whole team, we pressed really high.”

De Gea added: “So we made them make mistakes in the build-up. So I think it was a good game for us, a tight game, so the draw was fine. We looked very well, we looked strong.

“Now I think, this year, the Premier League is very open, many teams are fighting for the title. We have to dream, we have to believe that we can win the Premier League this year and go for it.

“It’s a very strange season. To be honest, there are many teams fighting for the top place, so I think we need to be very focused every game and try to win the Premier League.”
