Large Transfer Fee Would Not Faze De Gea

Manchester United target David De Gea says a large transfer fee in a move to Man United would not faze him.

The Athletico Madrid and Spain under 21 goal keeper will reportedly cost United £18m, which would see him the second most expensive goal keeper behind Gianluigi Buffon, who cost Juventus £32.6m in 2001.

But the young goal keeper is focused on his performance on the pitch and said of the transfer fee, "that does not interest me. The value that really counts is what you do on the pitch."

And went on to comment on the prospect of joining Manchester United, "I feel very motivated that Manchester United are thinking about me."

"I like the fact that they are considering me as a replacement for a goalkeeper of Edwin van der Sar's calibre," De Gea added.

"I will need to keep on striving and working hard, as I am still in the outset of my career, and I still have much to do at this level.

"I hope I will still be playing when I am his age. It is hard to look so far ahead but it is something I want to do."

Players like David Beckham, Ryan Giggs, Roy Keane, and the iconic Class of '92 brought glory and prestige to Old Trafford. The footballing philosophy, the relentless pursuit of excellence, and the unyielding spirit of the team were unmatched. The Glazer Takeover In 2005, the landscape of Manchester United changed dramatically with the takeover by the Glazer family.
