Man Utd icon De Gea embarrassed as Genoa back out of transfer due to ‘unrealistic expectations’

Former Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea has shot himself in the foot, as Genoa have swerved his transfer due to the unrealistic salary expectations of the player which became apparent during talks.
