David De Gea to Real Madrid: Man United boss Jose Mourinho speaks out on mega transfer
JOSE MOURINHO insists David De Gea is not fazed by the ongoing speculation linking him with Real Madrid.

But the Manchester United boss admits his Spanish goalkeeper will likely be thinking more seriously about the move once the current season is over.
Mourinho said: "I am not interested in the speculation, I think if the player is [affected by it], he shouldn't.
"We are playing very important games and every match is crucial in the Premier League.
"If we lose a match, the top four gets almost impossible, in the Europa League if we lose a match we are in trouble, so every match demands from every one of us top focus.
"I don't see that being a problem with David.
"The end of season is a time where players can be – can be – thinking about their future."
De Gea came close to joining Real two years ago only for a last-minute paperwork mistake to scupper the move.
Real boss Zinedine Zidane remains determined to lure the 26-year-old to the Bernabeu and is expected to launch a fresh bid for him this summer.
Man United boss Jose Mourinho has lifted the lid on David De Gea's future
De Gea has made 39 appearances for United this season and has once again been in fine form.
He missed United's 3-0 win over Sunderland last weekend and is unlikely to feature against Anderlecht in the Europa League tomorrow night.
He should return to face Chelsea in their huge Premier League clash at Old Trafford on Sunday.
