David De Gea Remains A Manchester United Player. Read Why

The amount spent by Barclays Premier League clubs during the summer window passed £800million on the final day of trading, but most of the talk centred around two deals that did not happen.

De Gea's long-anticipated £29million move from Manchester United to Real Madrid collapsed on Monday night and both clubs appeared at odds over who was to blame.

West Brom striker Berahino, meanwhile, hit out after the Baggies blocked Tottenham's attempts to sign him. Berahino appeared to threaten never to play for the club again after two deadline-day bids from Spurs were rejected.

De Gea remained at Old Trafford after the paperwork for his switch to the Bernabeu, which would have included Keylor Navas moving in the opposite direction, was not submitted before Spain's deadline of 11pm Monday.

Real issued a strong statement defending their conduct, insisting they did "everything necessary" to implement the move. That came after United said they had submitted their paperwork on time and had proof of doing so.
Man United in turn responded sharply to this claim by stating:

• It is our understanding that the deals couldn’t happen because:

- Real Madrid didn’t upload David’s documents onto TMS in time (Manchester United did)

- Real Madrid didn’t upload David’s documents to the Spanish league in time, per reports it seems some 28 minutes after the deadline • The fact that Manchester United filed the papers on time was acknowledged by the Football Association, who offered to support that claim in any discussions with FIFA. The Club offered this assistance, as well as its own timestamped documents to Real Madrid but they have chosen not to go down this route.

Manchester United acts appropriately and efficiently in its transfer dealings. The Club is delighted that its fan-favourite double Player of the Year, David de Gea, remains a Manchester United player.
