Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea has revealed he is delighted with his own form this season despite the team's stuttering start.

History

Nevertheless, it seems improbable United can retain their Premier League title, with a top four berth the only realistic hope. It places more emphasis on the cup competitions. And as a relative newcomer to Old Trafford, De Gea is among the vast majority at United never to even play in an FA Cup final, let alone actually win the competition. Sir Alex Ferguson never wasted an opportunity to underline the importance of a tournament United have won more often than anyone else. And with home advantage in Sunday's third round tie with Swansea, De Gea sees no reason why they should not progress. "The FA Cup is a competition with a lot of history," he said. "There is a lot of romance associated with it and it would be terrific to win it. "Being at home is a boost because we will have so many fans behind us. "Still, Swansea are a tough side and it will be a complicated game for us."
