De Gea denies done deal to join Red Devils

THE man expected to replace Edwin van der Sar, Atletico Madrid goalkeeper David De Gea has denied reports he has agreed to join Manchester United and insists he will not consider his future until after this summer’s European U21 Championships.

United boss Alex Ferguson spoke in glowing terms about the 20-year-old earlier this week and speculation has suggested De Gea would complete a switch to Old Trafford in the next couple of weeks.

But the Spaniard has rejected claims a deal has already been struck and wants, instead, to focus on the upcoming U21 tournament in Denmark which gets underway on June 11.
