David De Gea has signed a new four-year contract with
Manchester United, keeping him at Old Trafford until at least 2019.
There is an option to extend it for a further year.
The
Spain international, 24, joined the Reds back in 2011 and has registered
175 appearances for the club, winning the Premier League title in 2013
and two Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year awards.
David De Gea said:
“I am delighted to be starting this new chapter in my United career. I
have always enjoyed playing with these great players in front of our
fantastic fans. Manchester United is a special club and Old Trafford is
an ideal place for me to continue to develop my career. I’m looking
forward to putting a difficult summer behind me and concentrating on
working hard to improve and help my teammates to be successful.”
Louis van Gaal said:
“I am absolutely delighted David has signed a new contract. He is one
of the best goalkeepers in world football. I am very pleased that he
will be part of the team for many years to come. David made a very
important contribution to our performance last season and he has been
the club’s Player of the Year for the last two seasons. He is a popular
player who is keen to learn and enhance his game. At such a young age
for a goalkeeper, he has many years ahead of him.”
