Manchester United have started the new season on a winning note and have kept clean sheets in both games they've played, but De Gea saga still goes on, with Real Madrid laying low and waiting patiently.
De Gea was not picked again for the match against Aston Villa at Villa Park on friday night, and Louis Van Gaal claimed in a Pre-match conference that the shot stopper is refusing to play.
LVG's claim has been refuted on many occasions in English and Spanish press since Thursday.
On Saturday, a Spanish radio media Cope reported that the Spaniard has now been dropped from first team to reserve team training by Van Gaal.
De Gea has been made to train with the reserve team for the past two days, in what Cope reported as "either punishment or a show of strenght from Louis Van Gaal."
Cope also reported that De Gea remains “tense and is waiting to fulfil his dream of signing for Real Madrid.”
The shot stopper watched Manchester United beat Aston Villa from the comfort of his home, and still has hope an agreement would be reached with Real Madrid.
De Gea is not ready to hand in a formal transfer request and his agent Jorge Mendes remains “calm and tranquil” over the move.
Nevertheless, De Gea remains thankful to Manchester United fans who echoed his name with a song at Villa Park on Friday night.
Cope added that De Gea has rejected a new contract from Manchester United, a contract that is worth more than what Real Madrid will offer him at Bernabeau, and this week could see decisions on De Gea taken.
