Spanish keeper hoping for silverware

David De Gea believes that Manchester United must take advantage of their lead over Manchester City and clinch their 20th league title. The Spanish goalkeeper admitted that nothing has been decided in the race for the English championship, with United five points clear of City. But the young shot-stopper recognises the Red Devils are in control and are well placed to claim the title. "We are close to winning the Premier League but there are four difficult games left, one of which is against City at their ground," he said on a visit to Madrid this week. "At the moment anyone can win it, but in all honesty we have a great chance and we have to take it." The Spanish title race is just as close and De Gea is excited by the prospect of Barcelona's encounter with Real Madrid in Camp Nou on Saturday. "Real Madrid are also close because they have a four-point advantage," he continued. "The Spanish league is great and in the Clasico this weekend we will see which of them is stronger."
