Manchester United goalkeeper, David De Gea, is expected to stay at Old Trafford beyond the end of the transfer window. De Gea missed Saturday's one-nil win over Tottenham after manager Louis van Gaal said the twenty-four-year-old lacked focus following interest from Real Madrid.

United insist they will only sell to the La-Liga side for a world-record fee for a goalkeeper, or if Spain defender Sergio Ramos comes the other way. And club officials are not expecting either to happen before September first.

De Gea played against Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain in pre-season but watched the Premier League opener from the stands as Argentina international Sergio Romero made his debut.

Afterwards, Van Gaal said it was possible De Gea could play for United again but added the situation would not be reviewed until the transfer window closes.

De Gea has made one hundred and seventy-five appearances for United since joining the club from Atletico Madrid in 2011 for a reported fee of eighteen-point-nine million pounds.
