" Louis Van Gaal is tired of playing
‘hard-ball’ and has requested that the
Old Trafford club close the deal with
Real Madrid as soon as possible. The
Dutch coach publicly hint
intentions last Wednesday (“We have
a situation on our hands that is not
good for the player, not good for us
and not good for the club where the
player wants to move to” he stated)
and from information that AS has
been made aware of, Van Gaal has
privately asked that the United
sporting director’s to 'unlock' the
negotiations for the players move to
the Spanish capital.
De Gea’s errors against PSG have
convinced Van Gaal that it makes little
sense to retain De Gea in Manchester
against the players will. The Spanish
goalkeeper is clearly overwhelmed by
the situation and even a day after
returning from the US tour, De Gea’s
was still clearly affected by
circumstances regarding his
frustrated move to Real Madrid.
Van Gaal’s change of heart is a step
forward in the possibility of the
matter being renegotiated but it is by
no means definitive. There are those
at the club determined to retain their
goalkeeper. Club executive, vice-
president, Ed Woodward, wants
Manchester United to regain its status
as one of Europe’s biggest football
clubs and feels that selling the club’s
best player to a direct rival is not the
best way forward. The club saw how
selling Cristiano and Beckham in the
past aided Real Madrid to grow in a
sporting capacity".
