MADRID (Reuters) - Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea will not dwell on his penalty miss in the Europa League final defeat to Villarreal, international team mate Pau Torres said, urging his compatriot to help lead Spain to glory at Euro 2020.

De Gea was the only player to miss his spot-kick in last week's marathon shootout which ended 11-10 to Villarreal following a 1-1 draw after extra time, while Torres kept his nerve to score as his club won their first ever major trophy.
