Jose Mourinho reportedly tells David de Gea that he can leave Manchester United this summer amid rumours of Real Madrid interest.

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has reportedly told David de Gea that he is free to leave the club at the end of the season.

Real Madrid are believed to be circling around the Spaniard once again ahead of the summer transfer window.

De Gea came close to joining the European giants two years ago, but the paperwork was not filed before the deadline, forcing the shot-stopper to make a U-turn and sign a new long-term contract at Old Trafford.

According to Marca, Mourinho will not stand in De Gea's way if the 26-year-old opts to leave, but Madrid will have to pay a sum thought to be in the region of €60m (£51m).

De Gea, who was named in the PFA Team of the Year, has helped United achieve the second-best defence in the Premier League this season.
