Manchester United target David de Gea has insisted he will not make any decision on his club future until after the European Under-21 Championship.

United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has lined up the keeper as the replacement for the retired Edwin van der Sar and talks with Atletico Madrid are believed to be at an advanced stage.

Ferguson will be keen to work through his transfer dealings ahead of the new season, but the Scot may well have to sit tight despite reports on Tuesday claiming a deal of £18.8m had been agreed as De Gea is focused on Spain's challenge for the European Under-21 Championship in Denmark.

"I will only speak about my future after the end of the European Under-21 Championship," De Gea said.

"Right now my challenge is to help the Spain team, but generally my desire is to play at the top and to improve every day."
