Spaniard set to move to Old Trafford

     As  Manchester United's Edwin van der Sar announced that he would be retiring at the end of the season, Sir Alex Ferguson had to find a replacement that could match the skill of the veteran Dutchman. The search resulted in him picking David De Gea of Athletico Madrid.
     De Gea came out of the Athletico Madrid academy, and was known for playing for Spain's youth teams since the age of 16. Currently, he is 20-years-old and made 154 saves in 38 games. He also kept 11 clean sheets this season.
     Personally, I think it will take a lot of work for someone to fill the gloves of van der Sar, especially for a 20 year old kid who plays for a club that spent its last few seasons out of the top 3 in La Liga. Also, Athletico's last game was a 4-3 win over 17th-placed Mallorca. Manchester United requires less goals to be allowed than that, so De Gea has his work cut out for him. Also, an aged van der Sar had 14 clean sheets in 33 games, which is better than De Gea's percentage. But, as a fan of the game, I wish him the best of luck.
