David
De Gea is surprised at being left out of Manchester United’s team for the first
two games of the season, BBC Sports reports.
Contrary
to Louis van Gaal’s comments, sources close to De Gea say he never expressed a
desire not to play.
De
Gea has been training with United’s reserve team and will not be considered for
selection by manager Van Gaal until the transfer window closes.
De
Gea, 24, is wanted by Real Madrid. United are demanding a world record fee and
defender Sergio Ramos in exchange.
Meanwhile
De Gea had reportedly told club staff he was “not eager to play” before being
left out of the opening game of the season.
De
Gea was again been left out of the United squad for Friday’s Premier League
game at Aston Villa.
“I’m not doing everything alone,” said Van
Gaal. “I have two assistant coaches and a goalkeeping coach, FransHoek.
“Frans
had a meeting with David De Gea. He fully agreed with our decision.”
Van
Gaal said he and his staff had watched De Gea in training and the former
Atletico Madrid player was “not the same as before”.
