David De Gea told Manchester United he did not want to play in their
Premier League season opener against Tottenham, coach Louis van Gaal has
claimed.
De Gea, 24, watched United's 1-0 win over Spurs last Saturday from the Old Trafford directors' box as Van Gaal selected debutant Sergio Romero and named Sam Johnstone among the substitutes.
But Van Gaal has insisted that, rather than axing United's reigning player of the year, he merely acceded to the wishes of the Spain international -- who is a target for Real Madrid -- and said his omission was a mutual choice. source - soccernet.com
