David de Gea says he is keen to become Manchester United's captain after agreeing to commit his long-term future to the Premier League club.
The Spanish goalkeeper, whose current deal runs out at the end of the coming season, will sign a new six-year contract at Old Trafford.
The 28-year-old is keen to take on the captaincy, with manager Ole Gunnar Solskjær yet to confirm who will get the role after Antonio Valencia’s summer exit.
De Gea moved to Old Trafford from Atletico Madrid in 2011 and has been the club’s player of the year on a record four occasions.
