Following a host of reports yesterday that claimed Manchester United goalkeeper David DE Gea and United manager Louis van Gaal had not talked for months, and that the Spanish international had not signed a new contract with the club as he was looking to move to Real Madrid.
De Gea responed to the rumours by telling Manchester United TV that they were just rubbish and untrue saying: ‘Everything that has been written in the press about us not getting on is a lie.
‘We both want the best for the club and the team, and the stories are complete lies.’
‘I think this is the best period of my career,’ De Gea said. ‘I am playing the best football that I’ve ever played.
‘I’m really enjoying it at the moment and I’m just trying to improve with every training session and every game that goes by, giving 100 per cent and concentrating to the maximum. That’s the way I want to continue.’
Manchester United will be desperate to beat Sunderland this afternoon at Old Trafford, following their loss away to Swansea City last weekend.
‘I don’t think we deserved to lose, but football can be like that,’ De Gea added.
‘You go to tough away grounds and you lose points sometimes. We have to move on from that as now we face Sunderland and we need to concern ourselves with that test.’
