Reina: 'De Gea should stay with United'

Pepe Reina believes that David de Gea should remain at Manchester United amid speculation linking him with a move to Real Madrid.

The 24-year-old has been in outstanding form for the Red Devils this season, which has prompted interest from Carlo Ancelotti's side, who are reportedly lining up a £50m swoop for the Spaniard.

However, Reina has urged his compatriot to stay with Louis van Gaal's men for the foreseeable future.

He told talkSPORT: "He is one of the top goalkeepers in Europe and this year he has been superb.

"Maybe Real Madrid are looking for a goalkeeper and De Gea is one of the names suggested, but I think he should be happy enough to play for United."

De Gea has yet to sign a new contract with United as his current deal expires at the end of the 2015-16 season.
