Wayne Rooney thinks that Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea still has a "lot to learn".

Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney believes that his teammate David de Gea will find his feet in the Premier League after an unsettling start.

The 21-year-old goalkeeper has faced criticism after a number of blunders in a Red Devils shirt following his £18m summer move from Atletico Madrid.

"David made some fantastic late saves [against Chelsea on Sunday]," said Rooney. "He is still a young lad and has a lot to learn.

"He has made some great saves against Chelsea and I think he is going to be one of the best."

United are two points below leaders Manchester City in the Premier League table following their 3-3 draw with the Blues at Stamford Bridge at the weekend.
