Just a day after I wrote about the Manchester United keeper situation looking better, with Louis van Gaal including our Spanish international stopper David De Gea in the Champions League squad and therefore suggesting that Man United would not be selling him to Real Madrid this summer after all, it all looks different again.
In the build up to our next Premier League game away to Aston Villa, the manager has now dropped on us the news that nothing had changed as regards to the mental readiness of De Gea to play and so it looks like he will be watching from the stands again while Sergio Romero keeps his place in the starting line up, as reported by Sky Sports.
I must admit to being a bit confused by all this. Do you think that the Dutchman is just waiting until the transfer window closes before he feels that De Gea will be able to focus purely on his football? Or is he still planning to accept the transfer bid from Real Madrid but is just playing hard ball and making the keeper and the Spanish club sweat until the last minute?
And is this all a bit too much of a distraction that would be better off getting sorted out one way or another?
