The Spain goalkeeper was expected to move to
Real Madrid this summer but, following the bizarre
breakdown of his transfer, has now signed fresh
terms at Old Trafford
David de Gea has signed a new four-year contract
with Manchester United, with the option to extend
for a further year.
The 24-year-old Spain international, who arrived
from Atletico Madrid in 2011 was expected to seal
a return move to La Liga to join rival Real Madrid
this summer.
However, following the move collapsing on transfer
deadline day due to documents arriving late, De
Gea has opted to sign fresh terms at the Premier
League club.

"I am delighted to be starting this new chapter in
my United career," said De Gea.
"I have always enjoyed playing with these great
players in front of our fantastic fans. Manchester
United is a special club and Old Trafford is an
ideal place for me to continue to develop my
career.
"I'm looking forward to putting a difficult summer
behind me and concentrating on working hard to
improve and help my teammates to be
successful."
I feel proud to announce that I'll continue
with you and @manutd. Thanks for your
unconditional support! pic.twitter.com/

United manager Louis van Gaal, who has opted to
play Argentina's Sergio Romero ahead of De Gea in
all four of his side's league games this year,
expects last season's first-choice stopper to enjoy
a lengthy career with the club.
"I am absolutely delighted David has signed a new
contract," the Dutchman enthused. "He is one of
the best goalkeepers in world football. I am very
pleased that he will be part of the team for many
years to come.
"David made a very important contribution to our
performance last season and he has been the
club's Player of the Year for the last two seasons.
"He is a popular player who is keen to learn and
enhance his game. At such a young age for a
goalkeeper, he has many years ahead of him."
