London, Nov 14: Former Manchester United goalkeeping coach Eric Steele has claimed that De Gea might leave Old Trafford in the coming years, in search of the biggest continental prize, Champions league.
The Spaniard in recent years has established himself as one of the top keepers in the world, however, till now does not have a full circle of trophies to show for.
Having joined the club in 2011 from Atletico Madrid, the player has won Premier league, along with Carling Cup, Fa Cup, and Europa league but is yet to fight actively for a UEFA Champions League medal.
In recent years United have struggled to maintain a place in the Champions League, forget winning it. Now, with a rocky start to the season, sitting eight in the league as of now, fighting for the ultimate glory again looks far distanced.
