Looks natural. Suits him.
The king of Photoshop!
feck me, his bird is a cracker!
I'm more confident about this signing in the sense that they've not dicked about, they've identified a GK with immense talent and ability and have paid the money for him
Noone thinks about paying £20m for a striker, a top GK is just as important

I bet United were going to announce this transfer on Monday after the final but because of the media hounding on the Giggs story before the final, Fergie announced the De Gea transfer to distract the media and replace all the headlines. Indeed a master of manipulation.
Sweeeeeeeeeeet!
Great news! Welcome to Manchester United David 
God bless that man.
Serious?
Welcome abord Senor de Gea ...... never mind his clean sheet record
there'd not be too many of those about with his doll around

You never know with these WAGs!
How did Fergie pronounce his name?
He got the David right (Daveed) but his second name wrong. (Fergie said De Gay-a, not Hey-a)
Honestly! There will never be a man who plays with the media circus better then him.
He forgot more about it than Mourinho will ever know.
Excited about this. 20 years old. If we are lucky we could have the keeper spot nailed down for 10-15 years.
So is it a good signing this then La Liga chaps?
So it IS 'Hey-a'...I thought it was but even SSN were using the G earlier.
Yeah, I guess it's wrong to judge people like that based on a couple of photos, but it's not like it hasn't happened before.
Nice one, Maciek.
Good news - I reckon this one'll be a keeper.
Sorry about that
Sorry about that
Delighted with that. Saw him last year for the first time and realised there was something special there. Never thought we'd go for him at this age but I don't see any special risk. There will have been a big question mark on whoever we signed, and the upside is if he gets it right, we'd have a top, top keeper for many years.
It's an absolutely huge sign of confidence/trust in De Gea from the club to pay the huge fee, that's promising.
How tall is he?
6''4
1.92m (6 ft 3½ in)
6ft 3.5
1.92m according to Wiki, so what's that 6'4-ish
Decent height that, good stuff.
nah I reserve them for you.He's my height, so he's obviously brilliant.
6cm shorter than VDS. Rubbish
He and Hernandez will be good friends.
if he settles and starts producing world class performances can he displace casillas. Or is casillas place in the Spain team independent of teh ability of his rivals? he is the captain after all
forget Spain.
I think this is a good thing,
Casillas - 30
Valdes - 29
Reina - 28
are all ahead of him, and that's good for us, he can concentrate on United and United only for the next 3-4 seasons, as he gains more experience.
