He's as good as gone, at least his intentions seem to be clear to the club now, it's only a matter of reaching a deal with real.

What Alex Shaw said in his tweet, though a bit sensationalised as van Gaal also said its a tough decision for him to make and he needs to think etc.
gonna miss him! 
not if you have no balls....
Unless you are DDG, his gf, his family, his agent or someone important in the club hierarchy, you are as clueless as the rest of us regarding his future and are drawing your own conclusions like the rest on here. So get off your high horse.
I know it's not true, but the way I'm reading the screens of them chatting post match. Gaal asked have you decided yet, and gea said he is going. Gaal turned away in disgust shaking his head. Ha
Basically what that tweet above says. United are a great club but that he has the chance to go to another great club, De Gea is Spanish, his girlfriend is Spanish and that United won't let him go easily.
Looks like his is saying "i'm going home", LVG turns away looking disappointed.
Cheers.
LVG is slowly trying to tell us that he is gone. Goodbye DDG. We will miss you.
They can kidnap his girlfriend and family.
At least LVG said they won't make it easy for him - I hope that means they will push for a good fee for him.
He's off though, the sneaky bastard.
Interesting about the girlfriend cause I've heard he's been putting it about lately.... can't be that in love

I shouldn't be giving a shit since I'm not even a United supporter but I just hate how Madrid operate. For some reason I was convinced DDG would stay put.
Why is nobody making a big deal that DDG played for Atletico? Granted it was only for 57 appearances, but he joined their youth academy when he was 13. Was he a Real fan as a kid or something?
I'd be telling her who the boss is, me.
feck me.
People really think De Gea is only now going to inform Van Gaal of his intentions in the middle of the pitch? Rather than say, in private? Don't waste your time lip reading.
Van Gaal was asked about De Gea by the BBC and he said that you never know.
Nail, coffin, etc
LVG asked him a question.
That conversation was most likely van Gaal asking de Gea about updates on the injury situation and how he feels.
Oh please, none of this 'nos vamos en Manchester' shit again - I don't think I'll be able to handle another summer of deciphering handwriting, lip reading or interpreting body language. I refuse to believe he's leaving until confirmed by the club. Seems to me that he's still thinking about things, and facing a very, very difficult decision.
If he decides to commit his future here, he has the opportunity to become a club legend - whereas at Madrid he'll just be another Galactico. Still maintaining hope that he'll stay.
Regardless of what happens, the fact people are treating every little incident as if it's a feckin' 3-2-1 clue is hilarious.
Just for once I'd like it not to be us who Real come and hand pick the best player. A lot of United fans like to say we are the biggest club in the world, how can that be true when we simply roll over and let our best players leave to join Madrid every time they click their fingers?
This. I don't think that conversation was about anything other than his injury.
30mill+ for his services better be offered or they'll have to wait another year.
Make it clear to them Woody.
Make it clear to them Woody.
Nah, think this was about what the injury was and whether he'd be able to join in the lap with the rest of the team
We're soft touch in some ways though. It would be interesting to see if Madrid tried going after Hazard. I believe Roman would whoop their arse tbh. I like how Chelsea has the players leave on their terms. The United directors need to grow a pair.
yea I'm sure he broke the news on the pitch during the parade lap, no chance at all they're talking about the game.If we are going to lose him, then we should sure as hell make sure we either get Bale/ Benzema as part of the deal.
Adios Mr Goat.
I hope it won't be easy means that they will better pay a big fee or have to wait till 2016, everything else would be pointless.
At least LVG said they won't make it easy for him - I hope that means they will push for a good fee for him.

LVG meant that it's a tough decision for De Gea to make, not that we'd play hard ball.
We've basically become Madrid's feeder club, having given them Beckham, Van Nistelrooy, Heinze, Ronaldo and now De Gea in the last decade
What are you on about?! He clearly only even acknowledges LvG's presence once they're both facing the exact direction of the Bernabeu.
You have to feel for Van Gaal.
There he was, planning to build this team around De Gea. And now David's suddenly broken the news to him on the pitch that he intends to leave. Everything in tatters.

Tell me more...
A deaf forum reader might be able to help, we are just amateurs when it comes to lip reading.
Not impressed. Obviously concerned about his upcoming medical.
Yep but if you look closely, right before DDG says he's going home, VG says "you coming to Wings tonight big man?"
