I'm saying your chances improved with Mata whereas before they were, let's be honest, nonexistent. Then again, the Don already signed his extension so he's not going anywhere

Imagine a De Gea-Guardiola combo. It would act as some sort of Spanish midget tractor beam.
Anyone else have a serious man crush on De Gea at the moment?
The Spanish revolution at Old Trafford has only just begun 
Yup! De Gea, Mata and RVP.
Viva La Revolución!The Spanish revolution at Old Trafford has only just begun
Mata has played for both the senior and junior teams in recent years. I'm hoping him and De Gea can use their influence to lure more Spanish players. These Spanish players seem to adapt easily to the league and we could benefit from this golden generation like Arsene did with the French from the late 90's-mid 00's

Just as Germans become the must have top club accessory. Typical.
Nah, they will only do so when we buy them. For now the German players shall be known as "unnecessary".
Our players really love to get involved in the muppetry!
DDG is currently king muppet with his Thiago and Mata antics, but Rio texting Cristiano to come back this summer isn't far behind and Evra alerting our scouts about Adnan!

Imagine if the British had let the Spanish land in 1588, and the Germans invade in 1940. United would be made up of überhombrefußballjugadores!
Important for him to keep a cleansheet after the Sunderland error.
Rumours that he is set to sign a new contract.
With us, for clarification.

Excellent news.
Would definitely be good news.
Wooooooo!!!
This would be one of best things to happen this season.
I can't believe the media still mention the "shaky start". It was what, like two games?
Great news.
Great news, hope he stays for a long, long time.
Fantastic news. I really think that in long term him together with Adnan and Rafael will be our most important players so giving them contracts until 2400 will be a good thing.
It was a lot more than two games.
I'm a huge de Gea fan and even I agree, he took a good 3-4 months to settle. The Mata save against Chelsea was a huge turning point.
It's funny. It was a few of months, but was certainly not every game during those two to four months. I still hear people saying that he was shit for his first 3-4 months at United, but he wasn't. Over the course of those 3-4 months he made some mistakes, showed some naivety under crosses and wasn't strong enough to dominate his area. However, he also had some great games in which he was one of our better performers. The reason his 'shaky start' went on for so long was because the media were loving it. He could have three great games and then make a mistake in one and the papers would have the "can he cut it in the premier league" headlines. His form was no worse than say, Mignolet's current form, which is being largely ignored by the papers.
Excellent news.
Guess it depends on the severity of the word shaky. How many games did he make mistakes which costed us goals? I can remember maybe 2 or 3 instances. In terms of being a little naive, I suppose that went on for longer.
Even if he retires at United, any news report about him will mention the "shaky start" years from now.
"55 year old former United goalkeeper Sir David De Gea has been granted the Freedom of Trafford, but he really should have saved that weak shot from Shane Long at the Hawthornes"

I know we have been spoiled with giggsy but expecting players to play until they are nearly 400 years old May be a step too far
In reality his shaky start was about 4/5 months. The media kept on labelling him as shaky for a good year after that though, and on the rare occasion he did have a bad game (Blackburn springs to mind), he was instantly crucified for it. He seems to have reached 2011 Joe Hart stage now though. He messed up against Sunderland a few weeks ago and nobody seemed to say anything
I would be delighted if he signed a new contract, does anyone know when his current one expires?
