Highly-rated keeper on the verge of joining United

As reported in November, David De Gea has long been earmarked as the keeper to take over from Edwin van der Sar and the Atletico Madrid goalkeeper finally had a medical at Old Trafford ahead of sealing a long-awaited move to Manchester United.

De Gea, 20, has long been expected to complete a move to Old Trafford and, following the conclusion of his successful European Under-21 Championship campaign with Spain, he is now due to complete the switch, which will reportedly cost £17.8 million.

Officials were trying to conceal the player’s identity using a bed sheet, but that effort was a bit of a fail.
