Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed an agreement with Atletico Madrid to sign goalkeeper David De Gea.
Ferguson feels that the 20-year-old is the ideal man to fill the giant void which will be left by the exit of veteran Dutchman Edwin van der Sar this summer.
The Scot told Sky Sports News: "We've been working on it for quite a while, we identified him a while back as one we should go for.
"He's a young goalkeeper, very quick, with good composure and presence.
"He's an outstanding replacement for Edwin van der Sar.
"We were looking for someone with the same types of qualities. One great quality Edwin always had was his composure and organisational ability.
"David De Gea is very similar that way."
