'De Gea will not play.
'A player is also a human being. He cannot manage that. We will have to see who starts.'
'I don't know the solution with De Gea, that is the process. Still you repeat the question. I cannot lead this process, I can only watch and observe and that is what I'm doing. I'm not participating in it.
'When it is not like that I accept it because I know when I became manager of Manchester United, every transfer period is a process. I'm fighting against the transfer period.
'I know what is the process like and what it means for clubs and managers. It is not easy for De Gea to manage his situation now.'
Quotes from LVG, I hope he doesn't leave to be honest, that would open up a window for Hugo to leave.
Won't Valdes be first choice?
Like I mentioned before, Argentina haven't had a good goalkeeper for a while now, him being in the final was a case of 'best of a bad bunch', he wasn't even first choice at Sampdoria.
I'm pretty sure they fell out, with LvG saying he wouldn't play in a reserve game and Valdes tweeting a picture of him in the dressing room after the reserves game IIRC. This was the reason Romero was signed, to be De Gea's backup.

Thought I'd look for a bit of backup of what I was talking about, he's a bit of a Gomes.

In bed.
I'll be honest, if I was looking at United from Madrid's perspective and I saw that De Gea wasn't playing their first match due to the reason listed by LVG I would seriously question whether or not he would be worth getting. If he doesn't have the mental toughness to deal with all of this imagine how bad it could be if Marca started to tear him apart.
After watching that vid i'd say youre being crazy harsh on Gomes.
Except they probably know the real reason is because he is already in negotiations with them.
There's a part of me that agrees with you and a part of me that does not. If De Gea hasn't signed on the line yet and I'm LVG I play him up until he's no longer one of my players.
