David De Gea has signed a new contract with Manchester United, according to Manutd.com. The news coming after weeks of transfer talk were finally silenced today.
The new contract will keep him with United until 2019. A move that benefits United and De Gea, especially after all the mix-up with the transfer to Real Madrid just two weeks ago.
"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" De Gea said.
Even the new deal has manager Louis Van Gaal excited to keep the Spanish international between the posts for United.
"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."
From all accounts, it appears that De Gea is genuinely excited for the season and is ready to push the drama of the summer behind him, according to BBC Sport.
With De Gea coming back for the Red Devils, there is a strong chance that United can challenge for a Premier League title this season.
