BREAKING NEWS: DAVID DE GEA TO STAY AT MANCHESTER UNITED

David de Gea’s deal to Real Madrid has collapsed! La Liga has confirmed that they did not receive any paper work from Real Madrid. This will mean that De Gea will have stay at Manchester United at least until January! There were rumors that Real Madrid were blaming Manchester United for not sending the paperwork on time while Manchester United were rejecting the claims and have proof that they submitted everything on time. Real Madrid had already set up De Gea’s presentation for tomorrow but it looks like this is not going to happen.

Manchester United can still sign Navas from Real Madrid since the UK transfer window closes tomorrow.

Guillem Balague for Sky Sports confirmed the news:

David de Gea was at his girlfriend’s house waiting, Keylor Navas was waiting, everything was signed and sent to Manchester but the stories coming out of the Spanish media are that Manchester United sent the paperwork back at 12.01pm Spanish time, so past the deadline.

The documents did not arrive in time, Real Madrid asked for five minutes and the league said no, so there is no precedent for this to be overruled. I know in England if everything is agreed you can have an extension but that has never happened in Spain and is not expected to happen.
