Louis van Gaal is confident David de Gea will be ready to start the season in goal for Manchester United and confirmed he will feature against Barcelona on Saturday.
De Gea has yet to feature for United in pre-season and Sky Sports News HQ understands that the club are resigned to losing the Spaniard to Real Madrid, if not this summer then next.
The 24-year-old has one year left on his current deal at Old Trafford and is not expected to sign a new deal with the Red Devils, although any move back to the Spanish capital is currently in limbo with United adamant he can only leave if they receive Spanish international defender Sergio Ramos as part of the deal in return.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding his future, Van Gaal revealed he expects to have De Gea for United’s first Premier League game of the season against Tottenham on August 8 and that the Spaniard will play in Santa Clara as he works his way back to fitness.
