De Gea set to snub Real Madrid again

Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea is set to shun interest from Real Madrid once again by penning new terms to commit his future to Old Trafford.

The Spain No. 1 has been typically excellent this season and a stunning save — that denied Sevilla’s Luis Muriel on Wednesday and ensured United held Vincenzo Montella’s side to a 0-0 draw in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie — was the latest reminder of his quality.

The 27-year-old has one year remaining on his deal with the club possessing the option of an extra year, but a long-term deal is now close to being signed to ensure Jose Mourinho keeps hold of his star shot-stopper.
