David De Gea To Finally Sign MUFC Contract, But Under One Condition

David De Gea has undoubtedly been one of Manchester United‘s best players in recent years, and his performance during their latest 1-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur was proof of just that.

The shot-stopper made 11 saves at Wembley – the most by any goalkeeper in the Premier League this season – single-handedly helping the Red Devils retain 3 valuable points.

But in spite of his world-class antics in goal, his future at the Mancunian outfit remains far from secure at the moment.

United did activate the one-year extension clause in his deal back in November, thereby extending his stay upto 2020 and preventing him from agreeing a pre-contract with other interested parties in the ongoing January window.

However, Manchester United need to act quick if they are to secure the Spanish international’s long-term future, as reports indicate that the player himself is also keen on penning down a brand new contract.

According to the Daily Mail, David De Gea wants to commit his future to the 20-time Premier League champions, but only if they agree to his wage demands.

The Spaniard hopes to see his salary rise up to the region of £300,000-a-week including bonuses, which will be a significant improvement from his current £200,000-a-week wages.

Many United supporters have already provided their input on the matter on social media, with a majority of the fan-base urging the club to meet the 28-year-old’s demands and secure his services for the years to come.

Further, several players have mirrored these views as well, with Jesse Lingard recently admitting: “We want him to stay. He’s one of the best keepers in the world, if not the best.”
