Former Manchester United defender, Quinton Fortune hopes the club will add to their squad in the summer and hold on to Real Madrid target David de Gea for years to come.
“I am sure there will be changes in the summer. The manager will want to strengthen the team and that’s part of being a Manchester United player.
“You want to improve, you want to have competition and I am sure the manager will strengthen his team and try to win the league next year.”
One area that United will struggle to improve is between the sticks.
De Gea has been in outstanding form once again this season, including a standout display that ensured the recent Champions League last 16 first leg at Sevilla would end 0-0.
Fortune is another to have swapped Atletico Madrid for United and the South African continues to be taken aback by the Spain goalkeeper.
“When he arrived at Old Trafford, he was a bit rocky at the start of his career but the improvement he has made has been unbelievable,” Fortune said at the re-opening of the Red Cafe, supported by United’s official club coffee partner Melitta.
“When you look at the last couple of seasons, he has been player of the year – which is a little bit weird for a Manchester United goalkeeper.
“I think the position we are in the league and all the competition, I think David’s played a big role in that. Look at some of the games this season – he has kept us in games. The Seville game, especially, he was outstanding.
“In my opinion, he’s probably the best goalkeeper in the world at this moment in time and we hope that continues. He’s been absolutely brilliant, and we hope we can keep him here for many years to come.”
