Atletico Madrid inform Man Utd of De Gea asking price

Manchester United have been told they can sign Atletico Madrid goalkeeper David De Gea - for £17 million. The Mirror says Sir Alex Ferguson's interest in the 19-year-old emerged after his midweek spying trip to Spain.

De Gea recently agreed a new deal until 2013 - after just five first-team appearances - with the price being quoted the release fee in the contract.

With debt-ridden Atletico needing cash, Ferguson may sign him for less.
