David De Gea signs new Man United contract

Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea has signed a four-year contract extension less than two weeks after a proposed move to Real Madrid collapsed on transfer deadline day.


De Gea, whose deal includes an option for a fifth year, told the club's official website: "I am delighted to be starting this new chapter in my United career. I have always enjoyed playing with these great players in front of our fantastic fans.
"Manchester United is a special club and Old Trafford is an ideal place for me to continue to develop my career. I'm looking forward to putting a difficult summer behind me and concentrating on working hard to improve and help my teammates to be successful."
United boss Louis van Gaal said: "I am absolutely delighted David has signed a new contract. He is one of the best goalkeepers in world football. I am very pleased that he will be part of the team for many years to come.
"David made a very important contribution to our performance last season and he has been the club's Player of the Year for the last two seasons. He is a popular player who is keen to learn and enhance his game. At such a young age for a goalkeeper, he has many years ahead of him."
