David De Gea has explained playing for Manchester United as “a dream.”
De Gea, 26, was again tipped for a Real Madrid switch in the summer but the transfer deadline closed on Thursday with the goalkeeper still at Old Trafford.
The Spain international, who almost moved to the Bernabeu in 2015, is under contract until 2019 with the option of another year.
Man United are set to start talks with De Gea next year over an extended deal in the hope of ending further interest from Madrid.
“When you get older, you start to dream about being there, about being at a top team, so of course it’s a dream to be at a team like Manchester United.” De Gea said.
“It’s really good, but I like to keep my focus, keep working hard and doing my best.”
De Gea has not conceded this season as United have started the season with three consecutive victories.
