He Who To Replace Van der Sar

As Edwin Van der Sar says farewell, of course Sir Alex will be suffering from the headache thinking about the replacement who has the same qualities as Van der Sar. And I just read about De Gea and manutd.com provides that the Boss has confirmed the arrival of De Gea.

Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed United are close to signing Atletico Madrid goalkeeper David De Gea.

Speaking after Gary Neville's testimonial match on Tuesday night, the manager said: "We've been working on it [De Gea transfer] for quite a while. We identified him quite a while back as one we should go for.

"He's a young goalkeeper, very quick, good composure, presence and an outstanding replacement for van der Sar.

"We were looking for the same type of qualities as Edwin, because the one great quality Edwin always had was his composure and organisational ability.

"With David De Gea, he is very similar that way."

For coming season, Sir Alex has Kuszczak, Lindegaard, Amos and the about to come De Gea in his list of goalkeepers. The No.1 Jersey belongs to the best. And I can't wait to see De Gea in action wearing United's attire. Can he be one better than Edwin? The answers will be coming.

Or De Gea will be under the shadow of Van der Sar!
