Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher can see David de Gea quitting Manchester United for Real Madrid. Carragher insists United would be powerless if Real Madrid were to come calling.

Speaking on Sky Sports' Super Sunday show , Carragher said: "When Real Madrid come in - no matter who you are - they can still take them.

"They done it with Cristiano Ronaldo here [at Old Trafford]. Unfortunately as he's Spanish it may be that dream move for him one day. It was the same with Xabi Alonso at Liverpool.

"The worry for Louis van Gaal may be how close is De Gea to signing a new contract. That maybe in the back of his mind."
