Real Madrid’s move for David De Gea could be back on

Tom Victor

Just when Manchester United fans thought it was ok to celebrate keeping David De Gea for another year, his proposed move to Madrid could be back on.

The Red Devils might have led people to believe Sergio Romero was brought in as a back-up, but the Argentine could yet end up as the club’s first choice for the coming campaign.

According to AS, United boss Louis van Gaal does not want an unhappy player on his hands, though CEO Ed Woodward is reluctant to sell.

De Gea has just one year remaining on his contract, and may yet move to Madrid on a free next summer anyway.

It was thought that United target Sergio Ramos renewing his Madrid contract meant the end of negotiations between the clubs on Ramos’ Spain team-mate, but that may not be the case.
