Cristiano Ronaldo who has been subject of innumerable return to Manchester United stories, isn't the main fixture of our topic today. The fixture of our article today is the former Atletico Madrid man, who moved to Manchester United as a replacement for retiring legend Edwin Van Der Sar. Alex Ferguson who purchased the Spaniard for a sum of £17m then has been one of the most consistent performers lately in a poor United side.
After a difficult start to his career at Manchester United, the goalie settled in with the time as he learned to calm his nerves. But a disasters season under former manager David Moyes meant, unsettled mind for the young keeper.
Madrid who have been admirers of David since his Atletico days, are firmly looking for a replacement and De Gea is their first option to replace their club legend and captain Iker Casillas. Casillas who hasn't been able to regain his lost form of 2011, had to make do with a tough competition for his place last season with Diego Lopez coming out as the better stopper between the two.
With Lopez gone, Madrid have replaced him with Navas. His world cup heroics and his La Liga form earned him a well deserved £10m move to Real Madrid. But with Ancelotti unable to decide on the keepers, Madrid have been conceding goals on a regular interval.
With keeping spot being a cause for concern the ten time champions league might decide to fix the situation once and for all by buying the budding David De Gea. But that ain't so easy, with United preparing a long and high waged contract for the Spaniard, it needs to be seen if David would like to move back to his country of birth.
