David De Gea looks set to commit his future to Manchester United by extending his contract.

The Spain goalkeeper pulled off one of the saves of the season to deny Luis Muriel, the Seville striker, to ensure a 0-0 draw on Wednesday that means United remain favourites to reach the Champions League quarter-finals.

Real Madrid are desperate to sign a goalkeeper this summer and although they have made it clear that they would be willing to sign Thibaut Courtois, of Chelsea, they also retain an interest in the United player, who has been a long-time target for the European Cup holders.

Real are likely to fail in their pursuit, however. Talks between United and De Gea over a new contract worth in excess of £220,000
