Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea has revealed in an interview with Sky Sports that he wants to stay with the club to become a legend at Old Trafford.
De Gea, 25, had been close to completing a move to Real Madrid on deadline day in the summer transfer window but administrative errors meant he stayed in the Premier League.
The Spain international signed a new four-year contract in September, but sources have told ESPN that Madrid are keen to revisit a move for the goalkeeper despite being handed a recent transfer ban from FIFA.
However, when asked how he was feeling about his future at Manchester United, De Gea replied that he wanted to follow in the footsteps of club greats Peter Schmeichel and Edwin van der Sar.
“I’m happy, I’m enjoying it and I believe in the team,” said De Gea. “They were the greatest goalkeepers in the Premier League, they are legends for this club and that is what I want.
