United settle on new keeper



Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson is to take a massive gamble by choosing a player barely out of short trousers to replace goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar, according to Monday's papers.
The Daily Mail claims that after months of scouting, United have decided that Atletico Madrid's Spanish 20-year-old David de Gea is the one that they want.
Ferguson had been tipped to look for a more experienced keeper to replace the retiring Dutchman, with Schalke's Manuel Neuer and Lyon's Hugo Lloris among the contenders.
Instead, the club will take a "huge gamble" for de Gea - despite the fact that he has less than two seasons of top flight experience in Spain - after becoming "convinced the Atletico Madrid star can handle the responsibility".
