De Gea's future has been in the balance for some time, with the Spaniard leaving a contract offer from United unsigned.
Last month, Louis van Gaal admitted that his goalkeeper could leave: "He is Spanish and his girlfriend is Spanish and he can go to another great club, so it is difficult for him to decide. David De Gea shall not leave us so easily because we are a great club and he wants to participate. He is still behind Casillas but now a Spanish club is coming."
Both the Daily Mail and The Sun report that Real Madrid are growing increasingly confident of signing De Gea, with a mooted fee of over £25m also mentioned.
'Understand United have lost the battle to keep De Gea move to Real all but done,' The Sun's Neil Custis tweeted on Tuesday.
United have offered De Gea £200,000 to stay at Old Trafford, but the Spaniard has been sold on the idea of replacing Iker Casillas for club and country. His girlfriend and family still live in Spain.
