De Gea and Manchester United in talks over a new deal

//
Manchester United and goalkeeper David De Gea have begun talks on a new contract to keep him at Old Trafford past this season. De Gea’s current deal expires in June, at which point he would be able to move to Real Madrid on a free transfer.
//
A proposed move to sell De Gea to Real failed after paperwork was submitted just minutes after the transfer window closed last week, ensuring the 24-year-old will stay with United at least until January.
//
Real were reported to have agreed to pay around €30 million to sign De Gea. But De Gea’s agent Jorge Mendes was seen attending Man United’s training complex on Thursday, with major media outlets reporting that talks are underway on a new deal. It was also widely reported in Spain that De Gea would commit to an extension, with Marca saying he will sign a five-year contract, worth €9m per season, which was the initial offer made to the goalkeeper earlier this year.

Earlier on Thursday, Real Madrid president Florentino Perez ruled out a deal for De Gea in January and suggested he expected the goalkeeper to sign a new contract at Manchester United.
Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal had refused to play De Gea until the end of the transfer window, and the Premier League club still have not announced if he will start against Liverpool on Saturday.

De Gea seeks club action after Spain appearance

David De Gea is hoping to return to the Manchester United side after featuring for Spain on international duty. De Gea, 24, remained at United after his proposed transfer to Real Madrid failed to be completed in time for last week’s transfer deadline. The goalkeeper had been expected to leave Old Trafford, leading to manager Louis van Gaal selecting summer signing Sergio Romero as his first-choice shot-stopper.
But De Gea, who has yet to play for the Red Devils this season, is eager to feature for United ahead of their Premier League meeting with Liverpool on Saturday.
He said: “I felt good. I was really longing to get back playing. I’ll keep working and let’s see if I have some luck with my club. “Yes I’m happy. I am relaxed about things and I will go on working hard and improving, and enjoying my football.”

Del Bosque disclose De Gea must play to keep his place in the squad

Coach of Spain National team, Vicente Del Bosque has disclosed that De Gea must return to action for Manchester United in order to keep his place in the national team. De Gea was set to complete a move to Real Madrid on Monday but the deal fell through when the signing was not registered with the Spanish Football League (LFP) before the deadline.
Real, who were set to sell Keylor Navas to United as part of the deal, have indicated that they will not appeal the decision and De Gea will remain at Old Trafford until at least January.

United boss Louis van Gaal has so far not selected the 24-year-old this season due to concerns over his focus, but Del Bosque said he must be playing first-team football if he is to remain in contention for the national team.
World Cup and European Championship-winning coach Del Bosque told Cadena Cope he had not yet spoken to the player and said: “If there is any need I will say something, but he will take this episode like any other. “Everything that happens is for a reason. I want him to play and to be happy, and to play well so I can select him.”

Asked if the former Atletico Madrid keeper’s place in the squad would be jeopardized if he did not reclaiming his starting spot, Del Bosque said: “If he doesn’t play then it’s very difficult he will come.”

Despite De Gea not playing for United since July, though, Del Bosque said he could feature in the upcoming Euro 2016 qualifiers, with Spain hosting Slovakia on Saturday before facing Macedonia in Skopje three days later.

We can not let De Gea go easily – Louis Van Gaal

Manager of Manchester United,  Louis Van Gaal has disclosed that David De Gea won’t be leaving the club easily given his reputation and quality.  De Gea was replaced by Sergio Romero for United’s 1-0 win over Tottenham on Saturday and watched from the stands as his teammate impressed between the posts with a number of late saves. Van Gaal has already said that he does not think De Gea is in the right frame of mind to play for United while talk of a transfer to Madrid is ongoing and he re-iterated his point in post-match.

“I cannot say [when De Gea’s future will be settled] because I’m not the most important part — that is the player and the club that wants to buy him,” Van Gaal told BT Sport.

“He is our best player for three years chosen by the fans and we cannot let him go easily — we have to spend a lot of money for the players we want to buy.”

De Gea out of Manchester United's opener against Spurs

David De Gea will not be part of Manchester United’s season opener against Tottenham Hotspur as manager of the team, Louis Van Gaal is unsure of his state of mind amid transfer talks.
‎
Goalkeeper De Gea is a target for Real Madrid and although the 2014 European champions are yet to make an official bid for him, manager Van Gaal described the situation as a “problem” as he worries about the 24-year-old’s state of mind going into the season opener at Old Trafford.
Van Gaal did not confirm if new signing Sergio Romero will be given his debut at Old Trafford on Saturday but said in a news conference: “We have problems of course with De Gea. He shall not play. I think a human being is more than just a player. He cannot manage that. You have to wait and see who is starting.”
United had been holding out for a world-record fee for a goalkeeper and are willing to hold De Gea to the last year of his contract and risk losing him on a free transfer next summer.
However, Van Gaal suggested he is powerless to act in the whole saga, adding: “That is in process. I cannot lead this process. I can only watch and observe and that is what I am doing but I am not participating in the process.”‎

‎
With Victor Valdes currently frozen out of the first-team, Sam Johnstone and Anders Lindegaard represent United’s alternatives to Romero.‎
