LaLiga- Real MadridManchester United legend understands goalkeeper's situation

Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes revealed that he understand the complex situation that goalkeeper David de Gea finds himself amidst speculation over a move to Real Madrid.

It is not the first time that there have been rumours about a move, having previously been linked with the Bernabeu club and almost joining in 2015.

"It has to be, but I think it will be difficult to do that if Real Madrid want him," said Scholes.

"He's obviously showing he's the best goalkeeper in the world and if Madrid want him you can understand David wanting to go there, as much as we don't want him to.

"We can understand he's from Madrid and would be playing for a team that would be challenging for the Champions League season after season."

The latest speculation suggests that 100 million euros could be enough to persuade the Red Devils to part ways with their shotstopper.
