Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea insists he wants to put his difficult summer behind him following the botched attempt to join Real Madrid.
For months it seemed certain the Spaniard would return to his home city, but the two clubs failed to conclude the transfer before the September 1 deadline.
De Gea has since signed a new four-year deal at Old Trafford and forced himself back into Louis van Gaal's starting XI.
Rather than dwelling on the failure to secure the move away he wanted, the former Atltico Madrid keeper now says he just wants to put the whole episode behind him.
“I am a guy who likes to put the bad things and difficult times behind me," he told Canal Plus.
