Sir Alex Ferguson is convinced he has made exactly the right move by spending £18 million on 20-year-old goalkeeper David De Gea.

"Replacing Edwin van der Sar is very difficult," Ferguson said. "He was a great goalkeeper. But the benefit we have with De Gea is that he is only 20. The qualities that stood out for us are his great composure and use of the ball. He is quick and agile."
