De Gea included in United's Champions League squad

David de Gea, the reported target of interest from Real Madrid, has been included in Manchester United's squad for the UEFA Champions League play-off against Club Brugge.

The Spain goalkeeper was in superb form for United last season, his impressive displays helping the club to fourth place and a return to European football's premier club competition.

However, he has been included in United's 28-man party for their play-off against Brugge, with the two legs to be played on August 18 and 26.

If De Gea features in the qualifying fixtures, it will not mean he is cup-tied for any future involvement in this year's competition.
