SOCCER-Real Madrid say De Gea transfer problem not their fault

MADRID, Sept 1 (Reuters) - Real Madrid said on Tuesday they had done everything necessary to complete the transfer of goalkeeper David De Gea from Manchester United before Monday's midnight deadline. The Spain goalkeeper was facing an uncertain future after the transfer paperwork apparently failed to arrive at the Spanish league by the deadline, media reports said, but Real said in a statement that the delay was not their fault.
