It is no secret that the Spanish giants Real Madrid have been in pursuit of David De Gea, the Manchester United goalkeeper for quite a long time. After the Galacticos failed to sign the phenomenal shot stopper from the Premier League last season, they are quite determined to complete the deal by any means this time around and make De Gea land at the Santiago Bernabeu in the summer.
De Gea has been one of the best goalkeepers in the world for last few years, keeping his opponents at bay more often than not throughout his career with the Red Devils. However, he has not been able to find the right kind of support from his teammates on the pitch, along with the fact that there has been a serious lack of silverware at the club for last few seasons are speculated to have its effects on the Spaniard, and he might look to make a move back to his native country with an intent to win some trophies in the upcoming season.
However, Manchester United have made a strong statement as one of the best teams in the world by making a move back into the Champions League for the next season by winning the Europa League this term. They beat the Dutch side Ajax by 2-0 in the final played in Stockholm to lift a major silverware after quite a long time, which has provided them with the opportunity to play in the Champions League despite finishing sixth in the League table this season.
Manchester United coach Jose Mourinho is well aware of the fact that he will need some top class players in his team to strengthen it for the next season, as they will have to take on some of the best clubs from all over Europe in the Champions League.
The Portuguese mastermind is trying his level best to keep hold of his prized shot stopper De Gea, whose absence might spell disaster for the Red Devils in the defensive area, which has already been weakened due to the absence of a number of key players like Luke Shaw, Marcos Rojo and Chris Smalling due to their injury concerns.
The Red Devils, reportedly, have told the current Spanish La Liga champions that they will not let go off De Gea at any given cost. The Spanish shot-stopper is due to stay at Old Trafford till 2019, with an option of staying with the Red Devils for 12 more months after his current contract is over.
