For many, Christmas is a time to spend with family, to catch up with those you haven't seen enough of all year. For footballers, however, their loved ones will find them harder to come by.

Almagro celebrated her birthday this week, and De Gea posted a cute photo of the pair together on Instagram.

The keeper had a sweet caption for the pic, writing in Spanish: 'Special and unique! Many congratulations, love! I love you!'
The birthday celebrations come before De Gea is seconded all over the country in United's hectic Christmas fixture list.
It begins on Saturday night with the final Premier League game before Christmas day, when De Gea and co visit Leicester City.
They then host Burnley on Boxing Day and Southampton on December 30, before a trip to Everton on New Year's Day and a visit to Derby County in the FA Cup.
