Louis van Gaal expects Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea to extend his contract and quell rumours over his future in the process.

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal is confident that goalkeeper David de Gea will draw a line under the speculation over his future by signing a new contract.

The Spaniard has been heavily linked with a return to La Liga, with Real Madrid reportedly identifying him as a long-term replacement for Iker Casillas.

Van Gaal bolstered his options between the sticks by signing free agent Victor Valdes on an 18-month deal on Thursday.

"I think there is no problem for [De Gea] to sign," he told Sky Sports News.

"When you are a [regular] player, then probably you are the best, and then the manager is very happy that a player that is fixed in the line-up will stay."

The 24-year-old, who joined from Atletico Madrid in 2011, has 18 months remaining on his existing deal at Old Trafford.
