Otamendi by their local rivals Manchester City and De Gea on the verge of joining Real Madrid but now everything seems to have fallen in place for United.

Louis van Gaal said:

“I am absolutely delighted David has signed a new contract. He is one of the best goalkeepers in world football. I am very pleased that he will be part of the team for many years to come.
