Manchester United release David De Gea update after surprise reports on transfer stance
anchester United remain in discussions with goalkeeper David de Gea even as the Spaniard’s contract with the Old Trafford side expires on Friday.
De Gea, who joined United in 2011 when Sir Alex Ferguson was manager, is the current squad’s longest-serving player having made nearly 550 appearances for the club.
āDavid de Gea’s contract is due to run out but discussions remain open with the long-serving keeper,ā United said in a statement.
De Gea won his second Premier League Golden Glove last season after he kept 17 clean sheets but the four-time club player of the year has come under the microscope for his shortcomings and errors in recent years.
The 32-year-old shot-stopper is one of the highest-paid players at the club according to British media but has not featured for Spain since 2020.
The BBC reported that De Gea is getting married this weekend and any new deal will not be signed until he resumes face-to-face talks at United.
It has also been claimed by The Sun that the Spaniard has been asked not to sign for another club while the Red Devils look to replace him with a new No1 goalkeeper.
