Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea pleased to return to action with "full battery"

Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea has confirmed that he has a "full battery" and is eager to get back on track during the club's pre-season campaign.

The Spain number one has been on holiday following his World Cup exploits with Spain, who were knocked out in the last 16 by hosts Russia.

De Gea has since linked up with the Red Devils contingent in the United States ahead of their International Champions Cup encounter with Liverpool on Saturday night.

"I'm really happy to be back with the team and with my teammates," the 27-year-old told MUTV.

"It's beautiful weather and I want to be fit as quickly as possible. I had a holiday with my family, with my friends and everyone, and have a full battery to come back here to start again. It's always good to have a break, to relax and enjoy it with people.

"The season is long. You need to take a good rest and start again. Everything starts again and, hopefully this season, we'll do our job all together and try to win big things. It's hard. The first training session is always a bit difficult. The weather is hot and it's hard. I'll keep focused and training hard."

The Madrid-born custodian has spent the last seven years on the books of the Old Trafford outfit, making a total of 315 appearances in all competitions.
