I'm more happy this pretty much gives the middle finger to Madrid.

Atleast we will get a decent fee when they come back in for him, rightly so for one fo the best keepers in the world.

That's great! I actually feel slightly positive that it's not a contract to help United get good money either, and that he will actually stay.

Good one De Gea, hopefully shut up the toss pots on here calling him this and that.

He'll still leave next year though but this benefits all parties.

Miracle how we have ended up keeping our best player and getting him on a new deal when he was all but gone from when he limped off v Arsenal.

Great start to the weekend.

What is this "with an option for another year"? Do we have that option like the one we activated on Evra's contract?
Yeah we install it in all contracts now. It's essentially a 5 year deal but the option is ours. I guess it protects against injury or Andersonitis but also means we aren't liable to pay up an extra year of a contract if we sell them.

David De Gea has signed a new four-year contract at Manchester United

De Gea said: "“I am delighted to be starting this new chapter in my United career.

"I have always enjoyed playing with these great players in front of our fantastic fans. Manchester United is a special club and Old Trafford is an ideal place for me to continue to develop my career.

"I’m looking forward to putting a difficult summer behind me and concentrating on working hard to improve and help my teammates to be successful.”

Louis van Gaal added: “I am absolutely delighted David has signed a new contract. He is one of the best goalkeepers in world football. I am very pleased that he will be part of the team for many years to come.

"David made a very important contribution to our performance last season and he has been the club’s Player of the Year for the last two seasons. He is a popular player who is keen to learn and enhance his game. At such a young age for a goalkeeper, he has many years ahead of him."

Ramos used us to get a new contract and De Gea used Madrid ;) He won't be going there next season either. It's just a pity we fecking weakened our squad so much.

Confirmation that Madrid screwed this one up
Yes, was thinking exactly the same. He must have some bitter feelings for them, now he is willing to sign for us again. Or he has a clause in his contract making him able to leave for a Spanish club for say 30 million quid, because he also understands that he needs playing time in order to get to the EC.

Get. In.

Oh how all those journalists can suck it now, talking about how we've been getting played all summer. Woody and LVG have had a blinder.

Best case scenario - we knock Real out of the Champions League and he realises he's in the right place already :drool:

If there is a clause, it would be for 30m thats for sure.
