David de Gea write off Barcelona move

David de Gea has reinstated that he wants to stay at Manchester United for a 'long time' after blasting off talk he could join Barcelona.

He has been mooted as a potential summer replacement for Barcelona keeper Victor Valdes, but says he is in no rush to leave Old Trafford.
The 22-year-old is enjoying his second season at Manchester United following a 2011 move from Atletico Madrid and has played a key role in the club's relentless pursuit of the title in recent weeks.
De Gea is quoted in The Sun, Saying "I'm very well in Manchester.” I know things have been said and written but I have a contract, and I respect that. It is not just my name that appears at Barca, Valdes is still the keeper and Madrid is my city, one day I'd like to return.

"But now I hope to stay in Manchester for a long time and win titles."
De Gea also praised the managerial skills of  Sir Alex Ferguson after the Manchester United boss helped him to deal with the criticism which has come his way.

He added: "Sir Alex is more than a manager. He controls everything in the team. He's a father for all those who come to the club. For that he is the best. “At times things are said that don't make a lot of sense and it is part of the job to know how to live with that. The best thing is to know who you are always."

Meanwhile, De Gea believes that United would have reached the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League if Nani had not been controversially sent off in the second leg against Real Madrid.

He continued saying “Sir Alex has a lot of character and on that day he was very angry, although deep down what he felt more was pride for his team.
