Manchester United star Ander Herrera has stated that teammate David De Gea is not plotting a move to Real Madrid.

De Gea was on the verge of making a £30million move to Madrid last season but the move fell through on transfer deadline day and the Spaniard instead signed a new contract with the Red Devils.

Despite extending his stay though, De Gea has constantly been linked with a move to the Santiago Bernabeu over the past 18 months or so but United teammate Herrera has explained that the 26-year-old Spaniard is not thinking about leaving United for Madrid anytime soon.

"He has a good contract here and he is valued a lot by the fans," Herrera told Cadena Ser.

"He is a calm person. He is not anxious or in a hurry to make a change.

"We are winning titles and that helps. I don't even consider the possibility that he could leave. I want him to stay for many years and not just because he is my friend, but because there are not many goalkeepers that earn you points like he does.

"If he continues here, he will become a club legend as Schmeichel and Van der Sar. I believe he can surpass them. I think he has that in his mind."
