Manchester United may have been handed a massive boost in terms of their plans for next season, with speculation that star player David de Gea could remain at Old Trafford for at least one more year.

Reports suggest that Real Madrid are ready to cool their interest in signing the Spanish international, with incoming manager Rafael Benitez prepared to give current number one Iker Casillas another season as first choice in his side.
This means a move for De Gea is on the back burner for the time being, though it is suggested that Real could come back in for the 24-year-old if he is available on a free next summer, according to the Daily Express.
The former Atletico Madrid star is stalling on signing a new deal at Old Trafford, and although United will be pleased to get one more season out of him, it won’t be music to their ears to lose him for nothing at the end of next year either.
