Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea has told Real Madrid to forget about trying to sign him.

The Spain international has been a target for Real president Florentino Perez for the past three years.

But De Gea now has sought to shut down the interest, insisting he's happy where he is.

El Confidencial says Perez and Real made contact with De Gea in January - but the United keeper rejected the approach.

De Gea has since told Spain teammates this week that he has no plans of returning to Madrid next season.
