The Spaniard endured a difficult summer amid speculation surrounding a move to Real Madrid which saw manager Louis van Gaal omit him from his first team plans.
But a proposed switch to the Santiago Bernabeu collapsed at the last moment and he today extended his stay at Old Trafford by signing a four-year deal.
And De Gea described United's fans as the best in the world and hopes to repay their faith with victory against Liverpool tomorrow.
"I feel really well," he told MUTV.
"I would like to say 'thank you' to the fans for their support. They are always behind the team, behind all the club, and that's amazing. I think we have one of the best sets of fans in the world.
"[There was] lots of speculation this summer but I kept doing my hard work. I'm relaxed and happy here and now have to look forward this season and we have to play well, win the games and hopefully we can win a trophy.
"It was a different summer, it's true. But I kept my focus, kept calm and kept doing my hard work. I want to say 'thank you' to my team-mates as well, they're fantastic team-mates, and I'm really happy to be with them again.
"I've trained really hard and I played with my national team, of course, so I feel ready and 100 per cent fit.
"It's a perfect moment to come back at Old Trafford with the fans against Liverpool. It's a special game for us, for the fans, for the world.
"It's a big game and, of course, we need to win. We need three points for the fans."
