“We don’t think the De Gea period with Spain is over,” Moreno said.

“But Kepa had an incredible end of the season – champion of the Europa League with great performances.

“In this concrete moment, we thought that Kepa could help us in a better way.

“The competition is now on. When you have something easy, you get relaxed, and that’s not good. The competitiveness is also good in goal.”

Spain's next game is against Romania in September, where De Gea will hope to regain his best form for United at the start of the Premier League season as the battle with Kepa continues.
