Real Have Given Up On De Gea

Real Madrid have given up on signing Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea, Sky Sports' Guillem Balague says.

De Gea saw his dream move to the Bernabeu collapse in the final hours of last summer's transfer window and went on to sign a contract extension at Old Trafford.

That has not prevented constant speculation over his future but, according to Spanish football expert Balague, Real have now accepted the Spain No 1 will stay put and work under Jose Mourinho.

"I think De Gea now is a clear situation," Balague told Sky Sports News HQ. "Real Madrid have decided not to go with him. He's happy, he wants to stay with Manchester United and see what Jose Mourinho brings to him."
