Manchester United are “not selling” goalkeeper David
De Gea before the transfer window closes on 1
September, says manager Louis van Gaal.
The Spain international, 24, has been strongly linked
with a move to Real Madrid throughout the summer,
but Van Gaal insists he will stay at United.
“I think when Manchester United wants a player he
shall come, besides when a club isn’t selling,” said the
Dutchman.
“It is the same with us. We are not selling De Gea.”
De Gea has a year left on his contract. However, he
has not been selected for either of United’s first two
Premier League matches, against Tottenham and
Aston Villa, because Van Gaal believes his keeper
cannot focus with the speculation surrounding Real
Madrid’s interest.
He will once again be in the stands when United take
on Newcastle United on Saturday, with Argentina
international Sergio Romero, who has kept two clean
sheets, again poised to start.
