Premier League giants Manchester United will lose their first choice number one Edwin van Der Sar this summer.
The veteran Dutchman has decided to call time on his career at the age of 40. He will be really hard to replace.
Linked
Manchester United have been linked with a number of keepers in recent months but the one who has been most heavily linked with the Red Devils is Atletico Madrid stopper David De Gea.
There was even talk of a summer move already being agreed.
However the youngster has came out and denied that a summer move has already been arranged. The 20 year-old told a press conference:
“There is nothing, it is all lies, I know nothing about offers from any team, whether it is other clubs or a renewal from Atletico.”
Quality
De Gea has come to prominence in the last 18 months after breaking into the Atletico Madrid first team and becoming their first choice keeper. His keeping skills definitely belie his age. His performances have brought comparisons with the veteran Van Der Sar, not just for his ability but for his stature as well.
He is a commanding keeper with good shot stopping abilities. He has almost all the qualities required to be a world-class keeper. The only thing that he is slightly lacking in at the moment is experience but he will only gain that with first team football.
