3. He Isn't Happy In England
There have been concerns for quite some time that the young shot-stopper is homesick. His pop star girlfriend Edurne (above) has stayed in Spain throughout de Gea's tenure in Manchester and there have been reports that the keeper's failure to adapt to the English language have hindered his attempts to bond with teammates.* Toward the beginning of his United career in 2011, the player was caught shoplifting from a Tesco store and when he was apprehended by security afterwards, he was said to be confused and had no idea what was going on.** It is these puzzling failures to adapt to life in England that have led to further reports that he is wanted at Real Madrid as a long-term replacement for Iker Casillas.*** If the player is homesick and longs for a return to the Spanish capital, then United have an unhappy and therefore unstable player on their books, and this needs to be dealt with. Also, if the language barrier is prohibitive, that could be dangerous for United, particularly in instances where communication in the heat of battle is paramount. Source(s): *
