David de Gea refused to comment on his Manchester United future after being presented with a special award by his home town in Spain on Sunday.

The goalkeeper, 24, has been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid this season following his impressive displays for Louis van Gaal’s side.

De Gea attended a ceremony at the historic Palace of Fuensalida in Toledo to receive the title adoptive son of Castilla-La Mancha on Sunday night but gave away no clues over where he may be playing next season.

“We’ll see what happens with my future,” De Gea said, according to Spanish newspaper AS. “I’m on vacation now and very happy for this recognition.”

De Gea’s current deal at Old Trafford expires at the end of next season but he is thought to be weighing up whether to remain in the Premier League or move back to Spain.

Van Gaal cast doubt on his goalkeeper’s future after their 1-1 draw with Arsenal earlier this month but appeared to harden his stance last week when asked whether Víctor Valdés could replace De Gea.

“First we have to see if De Gea is leaving. Then we shall talk about the other things. I believe still that David de Gea will stay,” he said.
