Atletico Madrid goalkeeper David De Gea has opened the door to
talks with Manchester United in the summer.
De Gea, 20, has been widely linked with a move to Old Trafford
as Sir Alex Ferguson seeks to identify Edwin van der Sar's
successor.
A deal to sign 26-year-old Denmark international Anders
Lindegaard from Aalesunds was completed last month, but he is
thought more likely to have been brought in as back-up.
Ferguson has seen De Gea in action during a scouting trip to
Spain and, while it is believed he would cost around £15 million,
he may still represent the kind of 'value' United prize so
highly.
"I know Sir Alex Ferguson has already looked at me," De Gea
said. "My contract runs until mid-2013. After this season, we
should look at what happens. Whoever wants to talk can come and
talk.
"I owe Atletico everything and I would love to stay here but, on
the other hand, Manchester United are a great club."
On Van der Sar, De Gea said: "Edwin's style appeals to me. I've
tried to make it my own."
Atletico have apparently offered De Gea a lucrative new contract
but it appears he is yet to decide on his future.
