According to the British newspaper Mirror

Louis Van Gaal wants Manchester United to close the sales of David De Gea and Van Persie before Monday. The Dutch coach does not want both of them to go on the team's tour of the US and disrupt the team's harmony with their negotiations to leave the English club. The goalkeeper is close to signing with Real Madrid, while the forward is one step away from Fenerbahçe, although in the last few hours, Atlético and Valencia have also shown interest in signing him, according to Mirror.

Mirror claims that although United wants to clarify the future of their two stars as soon as possible, they will not let them leave at any price. AS has already reported for weeks that United is pressuring De Gea's departure to include the signing of Sergio Ramos and is currently asking for 35 million euros. The goalkeeper's deal is also linked to the future of Iker Casillas, who was almost at Porto a day ago and has not yet signed his settlement with Real Madrid.

Van Gaal wants to have three goalkeepers for the tour of the US, including Víctor Valdés, Anders Lindegaard, and rookie Sam Johnstone. This is undeniable proof that Van Gaal is almost giving up on De Gea. The coach, after a week of medical tests and initial physical sessions, wants to start working with the players he will have throughout the season.
