This is how much Man United means to David de Gea (Pics)

He's back!

The transfer window is closed, the new contract has been signed and Manchester United have their number one back between the sticks.

And, by god, how he enjoyed his return.

The Spaniard was all but a Real Madrid player, only for the deal to fall through. But he has committed his future to United (for now) and the Old Trafford crowd welcomed him home with open arms.

De Gea was typically animated throughout United’s 3-1 victory over Liverpool, so much so that it’s hard to believe he ever wanted away.

No, Sergio, I’m playing today.
