Report: David de Gea will make Spain squad

Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea will reportedly gain a spot in the Spain squad for the World Cup in Brazil this summer.

Real Madrid's Iker Casillas and Liverpool's on-loan stopper Pepe Reina are certain to make the plane, but a long-term injury to Barcelona's Victor Valdes has opened up a third goalkeeping position.

De Gea had been expected to go head-to-head with Real Madrid's Diego Lopez for a place in the squad, but according to Marca, La Roja boss Vicente del Bosque has opted to select De Gea.

De Gea was recently voted as United's double Player of the Year at an award ceremony last week.

The 23-year-old has not yet made his senior debut for his country.
