"I don't have to show anything, I have shown already for many years my qualities. I know people love to talk, but I'm used to that," he affirmed ahead of the trip to North London which proved to be United's first league defeat in eight games. "I'm just performing as well as I can, helping the team and trying my best all the time. Experience makes it easier to block out the noise.
"I live a lot of things, I get through many, many difficult moments. I don't care to be honest, I just focus on my games, on my training and on my team. I'm feeling great, I'm feeling really well. I'm helping the team, training well, feeling confident. Like the whole team, we're playing well."
It's no surprise to learn that De Gea is willing to take a pay cut in order to stay at Old Trafford beyond June. Mirror Football understands that the former Athletic Bilbao starlet is expected to put pen to paper on reduced terms, as he's currently earning an eye-watering £375,000 per week.
" Yeah, I'm very relaxed [about the contract], just focussed on training, performing as best as I can. But, for sure, it's going to end in a good way," De Gea recently stated. "I was saying this is my club, I've been here many, many years and it's a huge honour to be here and I’m so happy here."
