David de Gea "very calm" ahead of pre-season return

David de Gea confirms that he will return to Manchester United for pre-season training, despite speculation linking him with a move to Real Madrid intensifying.

Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea has confirmed that he will return to the club on Monday for pre-season training.

The 24-year-old remains the subject of heavy transfer speculation on the back of his impressive campaign at Old Trafford last time out.

Real Madrid are reportedly determined to land De Gea ahead of the new season, but the Red Devils will not sell for anything less than their original £33m asking price.

As the stand-off continues to develop around him, the Spaniard simply remains focused on current club United.

"Real Madrid? I have to return to Manchester for pre-season," he told TV station Cuatro, before adding that he is "very calm" about the situation.

It has previously been suggested that the Premier League side may hold out for a player-plus-cash offer, which could see Madrid defender Sergio Ramos head in the opposite direction.
