Iker Casillas hints David De Gea's move to Real Madrid

Iker Casillas has hinted that David De Gea's move to Real Madrid is a done deal and claims he is relishing competing against him.

De Gea has still to publicly announce if he will stay at Manchester United or return to his native Madrid to sign for Real.

Casillas believes he will soon be his team-mate at the Bernabeu and claims his experience at Old Trafford will help him adapt.

The Real goalkeeping legend believes De Gea has the potential to succeed him as No 1.

"I'm delighted with the competition," he told Spanish TV. "My contract does not say you have to start.

"I would like to finish my career here.

"De Gea is a really nice boy and a goalkeeper for the present and future. He'll be well received and helped.

"We'll compete. He can handle the pressure and will be served from his experience at United."
