Manchester United split over De Gea future.
De Gea’s contract expires this summer and Manchester United are currently in talks over a new deal – but only if the Spaniard is willing to significantly reduce his current £375,000-a-week salary. Manchester United want De Gea to accept a new contract worth around £200,000 a week, but after his latest mistake, some at the club are questioning the wisdom of extending his contract, even when wages have been significantly reduced.
