David De Gea unfazed by transfer reports, says Jose Mourinho

Jose Mourinho does not believe David De Gea has been distracted by renewed talk of a move to Real Madrid, with the Manchester United manager saying it would be irresponsible to be affected by transfer speculation.

The Portuguese’s first season in the Old Trafford hotseat is reaching a crucial juncture, as the Community Shield and EFL Cup triumphs would lose their gloss should United again miss out on the Champions League.

Mourinho has not given up on a top-four finish and the Europa League offers another route back to European football’s top table, meaning Anderlecht can expect to face a strong side in tonight’s quarter-final first leg.
