Atletico Madrid keeper De Gea drops big Man Utd hint

Atletico Madrid goalkeeper David De Gea has admitted his admiration for Manchester United.

The youngster is a big money target for United boss Sir Alex Ferguson and admits he grew up idolising club greats Peter Schmeichel and Edwin van der Sar.

"On my resemblance to Van der Sar they call me Van der Gea," said the keeper, "and I follow his example, do things little by little and not trying to over-complicate matters."
