David de Gea insists it is a “dream” to
play for Manchester United and says he
is proud to receive critical acclaim for
his performances.
The Spanish No 1 has been heavily
linked with a switch to Real Madrid
during a number of transfer windows, and
was seemingly on the brink of a move in
2015 before the deal fell through.
“When you are really young, you don’t
think about the future too much, you just
want to play with your friends,” he told
MUTV.
“When you get older, you start to dream
about being there, about being at a top
team, so of course it’s a dream to be at
a team like Manchester United.”
In 2015 De Gea’s girlfriend Edurne Garcia
agreed with a Spanish TV presenter’s
claim that Manchester is “uglier than the
back of a fridge”.
“It’s not very nice, that’s for sure,” she
went on to say. “You have to hunt out
specific places, the nicer places. But
even then Spain is nicer. The reason I
like it is because David’s there. With him
being there, everything looks wonderful.”
