Fergie eyeing Spanish stopper as Van Der Sar replacement
-
Manchester United have expressed an interest in Spanish goalkeeper David De Gea – as a potential long-term replacement for Edwin van der Sar.
De Gea, nicknamed “Van De Gea” by his Atletico Madrid team-mates, has been compared to United goalkeeper Van der Sar, despite being only 19.
The starlet helped Spain reach the final of the Under-17 World Cup in 2007 an,d having broken into the Madrid first team this season, De Gea has been tipped for stardom, with a move to England in the pipeline.
United are tracking a long list of keepers but have now earmarked De Gea as man to replace Van der Sar.
The Dutchman, 20 years De Gea’s senior, is likely to hang up his gloves at the end of next season and Sir Alex Ferguson is putting plans in place to ensure he finds the right successor.
