De Gea? If I were Real Madrid, I´d think of another player – Mourinho

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has told Real Madrid to forget about signing star goalkeeper David de Gea, advising the Spanish and European champions to look elsewhere.

Madrid hold a long-standing interest in Spain international De Gea, who almost joined the LaLiga giants in mid-2015.

The 27-year-old former Atletico Madrid keeper – contracted to United until 2019 – continues to be linked with Zinedine Zidane s men.

However, Mourinho is confident De Gea will remain at Old Trafford beyond the season.

I think he will stay, Mourinho told La Sexta ahead of Tuesday s Champions League meeting with Sevilla.

I don t know what Real Madrid s intentions are, but if I were them, I would think of another player.

De Gea has enjoyed another stellar season for United, keeping a Premier League-best 15 clean sheets this term to help Mourinho s men occupy second position behind runaway leaders Manchester City.

United welcome Sevilla to Manchester following a goalless draw in the first leg of their last-16 Champions League tie.

De Gea produced a wonderful performance in Seville, pawing away Luis Muriel s point-blank header in a moment of brilliance last month.
