Man United Get Their Man: David de Gea Joins as Newest Goalkeeper

Having helped Spain win the European Championship title last weekend, David de Gea has signed on with Man United, thus improving their chances of winning the 2011 – 2012 Premier League championship. 

"The manager said that I should enjoy the holiday I've been afforded now, but of course I'm more excited about getting started in training and meeting my future teammates," De Gea told the club's television channel.

"Edwin has been the best goalkeeper in the world while here at United. I hope to emulate him and spend a great number of years here. Hopefully I will equal or even surpass the performance and contribution he made to the club."
