Manchester United star player David de Gea has signed a new long term deal, according to Manchester United official website.
The Spanish stopper who has been in linked with a move to Real Madrid in the summer window has been in discussions for the past few days.
Real Madrid were keen to land him till the deadline day, however the deal fell through as the transfer window got closed.
Yesterday at United's Aon Training Ground, De Gea along with his family and agent were in talks with manager Louis van Gaal and the club officials. Man United’s senior executive Ed Woodward was not present. He returned earlier today and now the negotiations have continued and later it was revealed that the goalkeeper has finally signed the deal.
SkySports believe that the new deal is same as of last season’s offer which was rejected by De Gea. In addition, there could be a further big rise in his wage.
De Gea has been a super star for the Red Devils for the past few years. Due to his link with Real, he has not made any appearance so far this season. He is expected to start his first game of the season against Liverpool which will be played tomorrow at Old Trafford. Also Read: Possible Lineups – Man United vs Liverpool
