With all the excitement of our recent transfers, and the progress Martial and Rashford have made, I keep forgetting that de Gea's still here and our best player. Keeping him is on par with any signing we've made - probably better than all of them combined. He's a great.
De Gea was a bit crap at the Euros. I think that's probably helped United keep him.
True. Probably why Juve decided to sell Pogba, too.
Pogba was always going to get sold.
With De Gea it's different.
Real love their shiny new toys, particularly right after they've lit up international tournaments. Add to that the fact he's a Spaniard, and he'd become even more desirable.
But Spanish players in the PL tend not to get a lot of coverage in their home country. Euro 2016 was De Gea's chance to sell himself to the Spanish public. Don't forget that quite a lot of them wanted Casillas to be first choice. They simply don't rate DDG as highly as we do because they don't watch him very often. Luckily, he did nothing to change their opinions over the Summer. If he'd be amazing, every single Madridista would have been clamouring for his signature.
United's signings are nowhere near as political as Real's. You can't compare.

The best goalkeeper in the world.
I always thought de Gea would end up at Madrid regardless of his performance at the Euros. There was some hope that we'd keep him after the fax machine miracle of 2015 and José coming but I wouldn't have written it off. I think it's more down to Navas' impressive performances more than de Gea's disappointing Euros, but if it was down to his Euro showing then I'm even more delighted Spain had a mare.
Though anyone basing a players ability off of an international showing is being quite short-sighted consindering the majority fail to live up to the hype. Especially at the Euros just gone.
Leicester 1:2 Man Utd
Seems to be getting along well with Mourinho.
Keeping him is the most important thing we have done this summer.
Hopefully doesnt win player of the season again and we keep him bored around the sticks
and we keep him bored around the sticksThink one of the key's to keeping him was Mourinho, and promising that we won't be letting him play with average crap any longer. The FA cup win was a huge boost in him not getting more worried about winning things.
Is his release clause gone forever? Was it in place just for 12 months?
Is there anything to confirm there even was one?
I knew as soon as Jose was linked that De Gea was going nowhere. If there are 2 players who had been guaranteed positions in Joses plans, its DDG and Martial.
Main reason Madristas arent crazy for him is because Navas himself has been playing out of his skin.

With rumors of Pep looking to ditch Hart and replace him with Barcelona's GK,would Barcelona then be looking at De Gea? would he go to Barca ?
No. Barca can't afford him.
I've always said that he wanted to leave for the chance to win trophies, not necessarily to play for RM. He doesn't strike me as a guy who develops affections for any particular club, unlike say Lingard. He just wants to win badly, and I can't blame him. This whole window must've been a treat for him. A Top 2 manager in the world, 2 WC players, Mkhi and a potential rock of a defender in Bailly. I can't see him going anywhere soon.
Bournemouth 1:3 Man Utd
Got to show at the end why he is the best keeper in the world.
Hopefully he wont need to be the only reason we win games this year!

Not Going to be the star of the show this season...thankfully.

Man Utd 2:0 Southampton
Did he make a save today? What a different Bailly and a few months can make!
Barely had anything to do, even when the defense was put under pressure
I'm going to go out on a limb and say he won't be our player of the year this season

Hopefully he gets golden glove this season. A keeper of his caliber can keep a lot of clean sheets
I think he was pretty average today. No outstanding saves when last season he made 3-4 per game. If he keeps this up then we should look at Navas for the goalkeeping spectacle
He was brilliant again.
It's nice to have a game, where I don't feel the need to say anything about him.
The length of this thread says a lot about our start to the season. Long may it continue.
Useless. Did nothing all game.
I love the fact that if things continue (big 'if' to be fair) he won't have a chance at player of the year this year
Worried he might get bored and decide to sign for Newcastle
First time I'm afraid he might leave for Madrid because it will become too boring for him to defend this goal. No heroics to perform like in the soup strainer Madrid defense.
Glad the team fought for the clean sheet today, David deserves it!
Dave must be loving this. Not having to make 5 saves a game to bail us out.
He hasn't had such easy games in 3 years.

Bailly must hate him. One awful back-pass after the other.
It was very difficult rating him. He did absolutely nothing, yet it seems harsh to give him a 5/10 so I just gave him a 6
Its so nice that hes not getting MOTM every game for us.
