Man Utd target David De Gea to reject move to Old Trafford?

Atletico Madrid goalkeeper David de Gea has reiterated that he will not consider his future until after the Under-21 European Championships and has hinted that he may not join Manchester United after all

Reports in Spain last month claimed the 20-year-old had agreed to join the Premier League champions, only for his lawyer to later confirm that a deal had not been signed.

There have been question marks over the deal going ahead for some time, as although the two clubs are believed to have agreed a fee for the highly-rated keeper, De Gea himself is believed to have doubts over a move to England.

The youngster is believed to be settled in Spain and reportedly needed extra time to consider a move to the Premier League as he thought he could be too young to play in a different league.

And speaking to ESPNSoccernet, De Gea has hinted that he may opt not to join the Red Devils.

"Until the Euros are finished and things calm down a bit, I don't know anything," he said of his future.

"I don't know what goalkeepers Alex Ferguson likes. I'm just a normal goalkeeper, a discrete one.

"Being Atletico's goalkeeper is completely different to being United's and I'm not quite sure what he's looking for."

United and Atletico are believed to have agreed a fee of around £16million.
