Despite some big mistakes he had this season, which cost Manchester United points, David De Gea will continue to guard the Old Trafford club’s goal after the end of the current season. Admittedly, maybe not as the first choice of Erik ten Hag, but the English Telegraph writes that the Spaniard and the leaders of United have agreed on the continuation of cooperation.The famous club had the option to keep De Gea for another season in the current contract, which expires next summer, however, according to the new agreement, the 32-year-old Madrid native will remain where he is, but for longer than just 12 months. And – for less money.The experienced goalkeeper is currently the highest-paid goalkeeper in the world with a weekly salary of slightly more than 430,000 euros. That amount will be significantly reduced, but it was not specified exactly how much.##NAJAVA_MECA_7244823##Despite his mistakes of late, the Spaniard is the goalkeeper with the most games without conceding in the Premier League this season – 15. He is followed by Liverpool’s Alisson Becker, Newcastle’s Nick Pope and Arsenal’s Aaron Ramsdale, all with two fewer clean sheets than De Gea. Loyalty to the club helped the experienced goalkeeper to get a longer contract, since he has been at Old Trafford for 12 years. He arrived in the summer of 2011 from Atletico Madrid for 25,000,000 euros, as a replacement for Edwin van der Sar.Spaniard’s current competition are Jack Butland, who was brought on loan from Crystal Palace last year, but will leave at the end of the season, and Tom Heaton, while Dean Henderson returns from his loan to Nottingham Forest, however, he is injured and will be absent for several months. The Telegraph reports that United will be looking for a goalkeeper in the summer to take over De Gea’s role, with Porto’s Diogo Costa and Brentford’s David Raya among the candidates.Sources close to Old Trafford:DeGea will NOT be the number 1 next season, another GK will be signed.#MUFC pic.twitter.com/F57rIkFM2N— عاصمة كرة القدم🇶🇦 (@QatariFC) May 9, 2023 However, the English newspaper points out that the priority of the Red Devils during the transfer window will be a striker and a central midfielder.Since arriving in England, David De Gea has won the Premier League title in 2013, the FA Cup in 2016, two League Cups and three Super Cups, and on the international stage, he has lifted the Europa League trophy in the 2016/2017 season, while four years later they reached the final of the same competition, but were defeated by Villarreal.The length of the new contract, and probably the financial details, are expected to be announced in the coming days when everything is officially signed.Definitely deplorable De Gea!
