De Gea Is Very Happy At Manchester United - Mata

De Gea is happy at Manchester United - Mata

The Spain international was denied a move to Real Madrid earlier this season because of a paperwork issue but his Red Devils team-mate insists he is not thinking about his future
Juan Mata says David De Gea is happy at Manchester United, despite the goalkeeper's desire to join Real Madrid at the start of the season.
A deal was all but done for De Gea to move to the Spanish capital on the final day of the transfer window last September, but a deal fell through as the relevant paperwork was not submitted on time.
The former Atletico Madrid shot stopper was voted as United's Player of the Year for the third consecutive season and, although talk of a return to his homeland has persisted, reports in Spain have indicated it is more likely De Gea will remain in Manchester.
And compatriot Mata told The Mirror: "I think everybody can see that De Gea is very happy. He feels the love of the fans, being voted the best player of the season for a third time in a row.
"He's happy in the city, he's happy with us, with his team-mates and he's performing very well.
"I think he's very calm and he's focused on finishing the season well, trying to win the FA Cup and, after that, trying to be focused with Spain in the Euros. So he's very calm and I'm not nervous about his future."
Mata also spoke of teammate Marcus Rashford’s chances of being included in the England squad for Euro 2016.
"Obviously England have a lot of strikers and it has to be difficult for Roy Hodgson to pick some of them," Mata added.
"But Rashford is very young and if it's not this time, he will have time to be in great competitions with England in the future because he's very talented and his confidence is growing week after week."

Arsenal Boss Eyes Summer Clear-outs

The midfield trios' contracts are set to expire at the end of the season and it is understood the Gunners are planning for life without them, claim the  London Evening Standard . All three midfielders have been bit-part players this season with Arsene Wenger believed to be having concerns over their fitness and consistency to perform at a high level.  Rosicky, who turnt 35 last month, is expected to be sidelined until after Christmas following knee surgery and has failed to play a single minute of first-team football.  The Czech was set to leave the Gunners last summer but Arsenal invoked a clause in his previous contract to keep him at the Emirates for a further 12 months.  By leaving Arsenal, this will allow Rosicky to finish his career with his first club Sparta Prague - which he is open to.  The same can be said for Flamini as there are those who believe his best days are behind him too, with the poor performance in the Capital One Cup exit...

Euros Disappointments a lesson for Martial, says Deschamps

  France coach Didier Deschamps believes Anthony Martial is a revitalised player after looking "exhausted" at Euro 2016. Following a fine first season in the Premier League with Manchester United, in which he scored 11 goals in 31 appearances, Martial failed to have much of an impact on France's run to the final on home soil. The 20-year-old played just 69 minutes across three matches, but opened the scoring in France's 3-1 friendly victory over Italy in Bari on Thursday for his first senior international goal. And Deschamps, attempting to lead France's recovery after their final defeat to Portugal in July, reckons a refreshed Martial will learn lessons from his Euros disappointment. "He was expecting more from the Euros and I was too," Deschamps said. "But, things were difficult. He has to learn from this to progress.  "He was the first to say he was not satisfied. Deschamps continued: "He arrived there exhausted because he had a very l...
