London - David de Gea has signed a new long-term contract with Manchester United, the Premier League club announced on Monday, ending months of speculation over his future.

Former manager Alex Ferguson brought De Gea to the club from Atletico Madrid in 2011 in an 18.9 million ($23 million) deal and he has since made 367 appearances for the club.

De Gea joined in the year that United reached their third Champions League final in four years.

Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said he was delighted the Spaniard had committed his long-term future to the club.

He would have been free to speak to any European clubs from January 1 and leave next summer on a free transfer.
