David De Gea vows to keep beard until team wins

London, Mar 10 (ANI): David De Gea has declared he will keep his beard until either Manchester United or the Spanish team wins big.

The Man U keeper gave some hair-raising performances early in the current campaign, though he has been razor-sharp of late.

"The beard pleases both me and my girlfriend. I want to keep it until United win the Premier League or Spain's team wins the Olympics," the Sun quoted him as saying.

In January 2012, De Gea was confirmed as hyperopic although this is not thought to have affected his performances for United. It has been reported that he will have corrective eye surgery in the summer of 2012. (ANI)
