David de Gea refuses to discuss speculation that he could soon sign a new Manchester United deal, but insists that he is happy with playing for a "very special" club.

David de Gea has remained tight-lipped on reports of a new Manchester United contract but insists that he is happy to be part of a "special" club.

The 27-year-old, who has been linked with Real Madrid for a number of years, is out of contract at the end of next season.

A number of reports have suggested that talks are set to begin between De Gea and United over a new long-term deal at Old Trafford.

Asked about his contract situation in an interview with Sky Sports News, the Spaniard replied: "I don't think it's the time to start talking about the future, it's not the time to be talking contracts.

"We have lots of games between now and the end of the season and the first thing we need to think about is Burnley this weekend. It's all about getting your head down, focusing, working hard, competing in training, keeping fit and picking up points."

De Gea went on to praise United, adding: "Just being part of this club is special in itself. Being a player and a part of this club is special, so when you get to wear the shirt, you go to away games, that's something you are always proud of and is very special.

"Being part of such a great club like Manchester United fills you with emotion and you gradually realise how much the club means to the fans and the people who work here. They really live for the game, so that does become part of you and you can only appreciate that having spent time here."

Since joining from Atletico Madrid in 2011, De Gea has made a total of 296 appearances in all competitions.
