Manchester United have yet to decide on David de Gea’s future at Old Trafford, and the club are considering extending his current contract for another year.

The Spanish goalkeeper’s current United deal is set to expire at the end of the season and they are currently at risk of letting one of their key figures leave for nothing in nine months’ time.

United announced pay increases of £61.6million from the previous year – up 19.1% – due to high-profile acquisitions earlier this week, and De Gea’s current deal netted him around £350,000 a week last season. on.

During his 11-year stay at Old Trafford, the Spanish goalkeeper has made his way to the top of the pile in United’s dressing room and is the only remaining player from the club’s last title-winning squad to play regularly.

But his dazzling pay could be an obstacle going forward as United announced a £115.5m loss earlier this week.

Despite several high-profile mistakes in his United career, including a costly mistake at Brentford in the second game of the season, he has already had the support of his manager Erik ten Hag, who claimed: “I’m convinced he can do it. .’

The Red Devils appeared to have a successor waiting in the wings at Dean Henderson before he openly criticized his perception of how the club were dealing with him on loan to Nottingham Forest.

The England goalkeeper criticized the club in an August interview, saying: “To be quite honest it has probably been the hardest 12 months of my career. It’s been tough, it’s been hard and I’m so glad I’ve come out the other side now.

“The conversation I had when I came out of the Euro squad (with England) was that you come back here (to United) to become the number 1 goalkeeper. I got Covid but unfortunately no one followed everything they told me.

“It’s also frustrating because I turned down so many good loans for that reason last summer and they wouldn’t let me go. Sitting there and wasting 12 months is really criminal at my age. I was smoking.’

As a result, the future of Everton’s Jordan Pickford becomes all the more attractive for United, with the England keeper’s contract at the end of 2023-24 and the Toffees looking to cash in on one of their most valuable players before then.

At 28, the former Sunderland stopper has yet to reach his peak as a goalkeeper, and as a homegrown player he would help any club in European competitions when it comes to registering players.

However, it would still come as a surprise if United let De Gea – voted club player of the season four times between 2013 and 2018 – leave for nothing at the end of his contract.

In 11 years with the club, De Gea won the Premier League, Europa League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup, as well as three Community Shields, and kept 168 clean sheets in 495 games.
