Spanish goalie, David Degea has ignored the latest round of rumours sugggesting a move to his hometown could be on the cards, as he claimed to be happy at Manchester and only focused on his World Cup outing this summer. Since overcoming a shaky start to his career at Old Trafford to establish himslef as one of the top performers in world football, the 27-year-old has long been linked with a switch to the Santiago Bernabeu.
Real have never made any secret of their desire to return a former Atletico Madrid star to his roots, with several attempts having been made to get a deal over the line. “The World Cup is important, for us to deliver a good performance, for the team to do well and for things to go as well as possible. De Gea said. “Personally, I’m happy where I’m at, happy and at the same time I’m focused on the national team.” He added.
Those at Old Trafford have already endeavoured to curb the incessant rumours regarding a possible move to Madrid for their prized shotstopper. United boss Jose Mourinho stated back in April that he doubts a sale will be sanctioned, claiming there is “no chance” that he will give the green light to a deal. The Portuguese added: “I see him here – I don’t know what the intentions are of Real Madrid but they should think about another player.” With the Red Devils under no pressure to sell, De Gea’s focus can remain locked on a World Cup campaign due to kick off against Portugal on June 15.
