Should David De Gea leave or stay?

The popular question in Manchester United fans' minds, "Should David De Gea leave or stay?' One can understand some fans just want his transfer to Real Madrid to be completed because the fans don't want a player at the club who don't want to be here and have dreams of playing for the boys in white in Spain rather than the Reds. I could understand the anger, disappointment and even pure hatred concerning David's potential departure. We have to remember when he was bought four(4) years ago he was no more than a scrawny, weak teenager, who according to the living legend himself, Sir Alex Ferguson had bags of potential, was able through great coaching, and may I add undying support by the fans has developed into arguable one(1) of the best goalkeepers today.


I can see on the other side of the coin, where I fully understand that it's David De Gea's dream to return home and play for Real Madrid, a team who has a rich history of winning, I can see the appeal. I just don't understand how a player of the caliber of De Gea would choose to play for Rafael Benitez instead of the legendary Louis Van Gaal? It's a no-brainer for me personally, the opportunity to learn from one of the best, rather Benitez who is a solid coach but not in the class of LvG. In addition you have to questioned why  there has been such a dramatic turnover of nine(9) managers in the last ten(10) years? Why Carlo Ancelotti a manager who won Copa del rey, UEFA Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup. In addition his previous history of winning Domestic and European honors. Seems that is not enough for the powers that be. David also has to know that the fans in Manchester who backed him are not the same fans he will encountered in Madrid, one bad performance they will turn on him as they have with Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo.


So David De Gea has a important decision to make, should be stay at Old Trafford and continue to develop and lead you Manchester United to some silverware or make his dream come true and go to Real Madrid. For me personally it's a poor decision to choose Real Madrid over Manchester United. As I stated above there are a lot of evidence to make the case why Manchester United is the better option. I along with other Manchester United fans with to see how wise David is.
