Former Manchester United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel has insisted that the club will be able to "move on" if David de Gea leaves the team this summer.
The Spanish international, who was voted United's player of the year by his teammates and the club's fans earlier this week, has been linked with a move to Real Madrid this summer.
The Dane told Perform: "Clearly there's an issue where either himself or his girlfriend wants to go back to Madrid and you can't argue that Real Madrid isn't as big a place as Manchester United, some would say bigger.
"If he wants to go, he's done fantastically well for Manchester United. We should be thanking him and we, of course, will move on. I think the most important thing for Manchester United is that we have a positive transfer window and we get players in that can take the club forward.
"It will never be about one player, it's not just about David de Gea. If he wants to continue playing [for United], we'll be very happy with that. If not, we move on and the manager will take decisions on who takes over but we need more than one player, everybody knows that."
De Gea has kept 10 clean sheets in the Premier League this season.
