United view Real’s tactic of leaving their bid late for De Gea as having backfired on the Spanish side. It is understood the first bid they received for De Gea was at lunchtime on Monday. Real are considering an appeal to Fifa in the hope that can rescue the deal.

It is also understood that Keylor Navas, the Real goalkeeper who was to arrive at Old Trafford as part of the agreement for De Gea, is unhappy at the Spanish club. He had let this be known to United and that he was keen to sign for Van Gaal.

De Gea appeared certain to be transferred to Real in a transaction worth £29.3m that had included Navas going the other way.

However, the requisite paperwork missed Monday evening’s Spanish deadline of midnight
