UK Back Pages: Fernando Torres Could Return to England, De Gea Nears New Deal

Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea's fine performances in goal are going to make him a much richer man. 

At least if you believe a Sun report that the Spaniard is on the verge of a £36 million deal. 

Elsewhere, AC Milan and Chelsea flop Fernando Torres could be unloaded by the Italian side, Mario Balotelli will start on the weekend against Manchester United and Alan Pardew backs under-fire Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger. 

The Sun report the rumour of De Gea's new deal:
