It’s A Dream To Play For Manchester United – David De Gea

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.”
