The 25-year-old was close to joining Real Madrid in the summer before the deal collapsed on transfer deadline day and manager Louis van Gaal is delighted De Gea stayed at the club.
'Everyone knows he was invited to Madrid' said the United boss. 'His girlfriend is living in Madrid, his parents, Spanish, Real Madrid is a great club but he is still here and as a manager I am so happy he is here and he deserves to win this title.'

Defender Smalling was named Players' Players of the Year after an impressive season at the back.

The defender told the club's official website: 'It's a massive honour to win this award, as voted by the players. Some big names have won this, so to add my name to that list is a huge honour.'
