Manchester United Close to Sealing Deal for Star

Manchester United are desperate to add more quality players in the squad but with that they also want to keep their best ones around as well.
David De Gea is surely one of the key players for the Red Devils and perhaps the only one World class at the back with United’s defense all shaky this season.
Louis van Gaal has the task to reinforce the defense in the winter transfer window but first keeping the top quality goalie is vital.
According to reports, Manchester United are close to sealing new deal for David De Gea that will make him earn  £120,000-a-week.
His current contract will expire in 2016 and with Real Madrid looking to secure his services to replace legendary goalie Iker Casillas.
Casillas has been largely average since the past two seasons and that has harmed Madrid as well as Spain lately.
As per the provided link, the Spanish giants were preparing a move of 24 million pounds for the former Atletico Madrid goalie but it looks highly likely that De Gea will renew his contract with Manchester United.
For any Spanish international, the lure of Real Madrid is hard to ignore but perhaps that might be the case for an Atleico product.
The 23 year old has had a tough last year or so but under Van Gaal he can expect United to become strong again and fight for top prizes very soon.
