Real Madrid attacker Marco Asensio has said that he 'knows Zinedine Zidane trusts him' after impressing during Los Blancos' 4-2 victory at Leganes in La Liga on Wednesday night.
Asensio, 21, was one of nine changes to the Real Madrid team for the midweek fixture, and the Spain international left a positive impression with his performance in a forward position.
The former Mallorca midfielder has been linked with a move away from the Bernabeu this summer, but he has insisted that he wants to 'fight for his spot' in Zidane's first XI.
"I know Zidane trusts me," Asensio is quoted as saying by Marca. "I only think about Real Madrid and being prepared to give my best when given the opportunity. I've come to Madrid to fight for my spot and the coach knows he can count on me. If we all work as one, we can achieve our objectives."
Asensio has scored eight times in 24 appearances for Real Madrid this season.
