The Spanish goalkeeper has been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid this summer, but Ander Herrera is desperate to keep De Gea at Old Trafford.

As Real Madrid prepare to launch another bid for the goalkeeper, with United demanding a fee in excess of £60 million, Ander Herrera has shown his determination for his fellow country man to stay at the Premier League outfit.

'Maybe I am a bit boring on this, but I always say the same', the midfielder told 'Cadena SER', 'David is one of the few keepers who give you points over the course of a season'.

Jose Mourinho's side will face the Champions League holders on July 23 with Zidane's team set to submit a bid for the goalkeeper shortly. 

Ander Herrera believes the Red Devils should not accept an offer for his compatriot: 'I prefer to have him with me, so I will do everything possible to have him here'.
