David de Gea upbeat ahead of transfer from Atletico Madrid to Manchester United


Breaking news-David de Gea is in good spirits ahead of his seemingly imminent €20.5 million move from Atletico Madrid to Manchester United.

The 20-year-old Spanish goalkeeper, who is seen by United as a replacement for Edwin van der Sar, had a medical in Manchester on Monday and is ready to make Old Trafford his new home.

"I have been invited by MAU [Manchester United] to get to know the club, the city and to present me with an offer," he tweeted.

De Gea is expected to sign for the Premier League champions on July 1 after rejecting an offer to stay in Madrid last season.

He is tied to the Liga club until 2013 and recently won the Under-21 European Championship with Spain.
