“Manchester United is my home” Player declares
Ahead of Manchester United’s Champions League clash against Spanish side Atletico Madrid, David de Gea has declared Manchester is his home.
De Gea left Atletico Madrid for Manchester United in the summer of 2011 and admits he feels loved at Manchester.
Ahead of facing Atletico Madrid in the Champions League, De Gea said: “I like the fact I was born in Madrid, but at the end of the day, it’s just a city.
“Now I feel as if I’m from Manchester; I just feel like anyone else from Manchester.
“Where you are loved and welcomed is your home.
“I’ve been here for many years and, obviously, anything can happen in life, in the world of football, but honestly, I don’t see myself away from Manchester United.
“Of course, I’m going back home [for this tie], I’m going back to the club that gave me the opportunity to be who I am today. But this is just another match. Everyone wants to play well, we want to win, it is a Champions League match.
“Obviously, I wish Atletico all the best, but I don’t know whether the fact we’re playing them is a good or bad omen. Everyone is going there to win, especially me.”
