Man Utd will use new TV cash to shake off Real Madrid De Gea attempt

Manchester United will use the Premier League's new TV deal to keep David de Gea away from Real Madrid. United have seen a host of stars - from David Beckham to Ruud van Nistelrooy to Cristiano Ronaldo - jump ship for the Bernabeu in recent times.

But now with the benefit of the EPL's record £5.1 billion TV deal, United intend to turn the tables on Real.

United are now ready to match - and improve upon - any contract offer Real can put on the table as the Spanish stopper's contract talks drag on.
