David De Gea finally happy at Manchester United after a tough summer

David de Gea and Keylor Navas swap move fell apart

David de Gea was at the centre of lot of speculation during the summer transfer window. His move from Manchester United to Real Madrid worth £29million collapsed dramatically, with both clubs blaming each other for delay in submission of required documents.

This deal would have seen Keylor Navas move to Old Trafford. But, it was not at all meant to be, as the paperwork wes not submitted to the Spanish Football Federation headquarters until a minute after the 23:00 BST deadline. As a result of which, both the goalkeepers are currently plying their trades at the clubs they were about to leave.

David de Gea then signed a new four-year £200,000-a-week contract at Old Trafford the following week. The Spanish goalkeeper recently discussed his transfer saga in an interview to Canal Plus as relayed by talkSPORT, he reiterated his views that he is in the perfect frame of mind to lead The Red Devils back to their glory days.

"I am a guy who likes to put the bad things and difficult moments behind me," the Spain goalkeeper said. I had a lot of tough times and I know what it is. You have to move forward and keep working just as hard.

“It is a learning process that football gives you, tough moments that make you mature and grow. They are the things you learn from the world of football. You have to keep working and try to improve in every training session."

De Gea won the United’s player of the year award in two back to back seasons

De Gea won the United’s player of the year award in two back to back seasons. He earned United a lot of points singlehandedly last season with his acrobatic saves in front of the goal, which meant United finished fourth, and the famous European nights came back to Old Trafford.

Though, Louis van Gaal opted to keep him out of the starting XI. Replacing him by Argentine Sergio Romero, as long as his transfer situation was not cleared up. He trained with the club at AON training complex and took part in team talks as well, but was included in the starting line up once he signed the new deal.

He also praised his team-mates, "I have always had the confidence of my team-mates and workers at Manchester United," he said. “Everyone who works for Manchester respected me, they tried to help me and I am very grateful to them.”
