Louis van Gaal has claimed that he believes David de Gea will stay at United because he loves it at the club and the fans love him. He reminds De Gea that if he joins Real Madrid he won’t have that same love, if Gareth Bale getting chased to his car by abusive fans everything week is anything to go by.

First we have to see if De Gea is leaving. Then we shall talk about the other things. I believe still that David de Gea will stay. He is loved by the fans, he loves the environment. When he goes he loses that. It’s a difficult decision, because he is not making the decision [yet]. David has trained today for the first time [so] we have to wait and see tomorrow.I want to play him against Hull City because I have to put out my strongest team.
