David de Gea has said "this is the real Manchester United" after his inspired performance helped them to win a sixth consecutive Premier League game.

The goalkeeper made a string of stunning saves - 11 in total - to keep Tottenham from scoring as United claimed another victory under caretaker manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, winning 1-0 at Wembley.

United look to be back to their best in recent weeks and De Gea agrees, saying the club is getting back to their real selves.

"We won the game against a top team like Tottenham, we controlled the first half but in the second half they put on a lot of pressure and had chances. I was feeling very well with the first two saves, it was a great game," he told Sky Sports.

"I don't even remember some of the saves so I can't pick a best. The manager brought some happiness, the players are playing well and the team is very strong now.
