Atletico Madrid’s goalkeeper David de Gea will do well for Manchester United says Diego Forlan
Atletico Madrid striker, Diego Forlan, has given a piece of advice to his teammate, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-de-Gea-c10463, insisting that he will be a huge success at Manchester United should he execute the prerequisite of adjusting well to the English conditions.
With Edwin Van der Sar hanging up his boots as Manchester United goalkeeper after their defeat at the hands of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 in the Champions League final, English Premier League giants want David de Gea to become his successor.
Being eminent for his saving abilities, the Spanish international made a strong impression in the last season, providing some attention-grabbing performances for the Rojiblancos. Having featured for the Spanish club on 48 occasions in the season ended, the
20-year-old has been strongly linked with a move away from Estadio Vicente Calderon with overwhelming majority of the reports claiming Manchester United to be his forthcoming destination.
The Red Devils, who have created history by becoming the English Premier League champions for a record 19th time, are planning to offer Spanish club a price up to £18.9 (€21.5) million. Critics believe that the amount would be more than enough to lure the
goalkeeper away from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011.
Diego Forlan, who himself had the privilege to wear a United jersey as he represented the Premier League club in 63 matches from 2002 to 2004, said adapting quickly to English culture and their conditions will be the key to success for the goalkeeper.
“David will become a top player because he has a lot of ability. But he's only just had his first full season as Atletico's number one and is a young guy with little experience. You never know for sure whether a player will adapt to a new country until he
gets there.” Forlan said.
Later on, he shared his experience with Sir Alex Ferguson’s men, he said, “It's true that I was also young when I joined United, just 22, but I knew the language and had already left my country. David is from a little town outside Madrid and has been at
Atletico since he was very young. He doesn't speak any languages other than Spanish.”
The goalkeeper is currently busy representing Spanish team in the Under-21 European Championship underway in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Denmark-c2884.
