That story was the return of David de Gea and the ear-splitting reception he received from the home fans as his name was announced before kick-off"I cannot describe how I felt in that moment," said the Spain international who was ready to return to his hometown and play for Real Madrid"In another country, at another club the fans would not be the same as at Manchester United. They are some of the best in the world, it was unbelievable."

"I'm happy, I'm enjoying it and I believe in the team," said De Gea, not sounding like a man on his way. In fact, when asked about the feats of Peter Schmeichel and Edwin van der Saar, he sounded like a man ready to dedicate at least the next few seasons of his career to the club.
"They were the greatest goalkeepers in the Premier League, they are legends for this club and that is what I want."

In keeping De Gea, United clung on to a man close being the best in the world in his position and a man with the hunger to get even better.
"I train every day to be the best goalkeeper in the world, that is my aim," said the stopper who this week finished behind only Manuel Neuer in the voting for the FIFPro World XI.
"I'm not sure who the best is now, but it's what I want. Also, to win trophies for Manchester United."
"The early days were difficult, there were some moments when I thought this is not the place for me I need to go back to Spain," said De Gea, talking of a time when a mistake against Blackburn back in 2011 cost his team the game and him his place in the side.
"But I worked hard, in the gym and on the pitch. And I fight, I fight a lot."
The hard work and the fight paid off. De Gea has been United's Player of the Year in each of the last two seasons. He's excelled at a time when the club have been in transition and the team underperforming.
That's why last time against Liverpool was so huge. United hadn't just gained a new hero, they'd kept an old one.
