A great goalkeeper and one of life's great optimists.

David de Gea's is seeing the silver lining after his move from Manchester United to Real Madrid broke down on the last day of the transfer window. The Spain goalkeeper was at the centre of a farcical deadline day fiasco as he looked set for a move to the La Liga side until there was an issue with documentation, Windows 95, and other ludicrous excuses used by both sides during the entertaining slanging match that unravelled in the days afterwards. Ultimately he stayed at Old Trafford and has signed a new deal with Louis Van Gaal's army, which may quench speculation about a summertime move to the Bernabeu until after Christmas. De Gea is on duty with Spain this week and is likely to start in goal for their clash with Luxembourg on Friday night and the 24-year-old has revealed that the entire saga has had a positive impact on him as a player. The former Atletico Madrid netminder feels that the entire on-off transfer was mentally tough but the process has helped him grow-up as a footballer,

"I had a lot of tough times and I know what it is. We must move forward, working equally and always strong." "It’s a learning process that gives football hard moments but that make you mature and grow. These are things that you learn in the world of football. You have to keep working and try to improve in every training session.” “Everyone who works for Manchester respected me, I tried to help and I am very grateful to them.”

All's well that ends well.
