De Gea’s future at Manchester United has been a subject of debate due to his inconsistent performances this season. Despite this, he has reportedly turned down transfer interest from Saudi Arabia, according to talkSPORT. The Spaniard is said to have agreed to a new two-year deal, which includes a pay cut from his current £375,000-a-week wage. The deal is pending official approval.
Erik ten Hag, Manchester United’s manager, spoke about De Gea in an interview with The Times. He emphasized the need for competition in all positions within the club, stating, “I won’t say that he’ll always be my number one choice because in a club like Manchester United there must be competition in all positions.”
Ten Hag also highlighted the importance of a sweeper-keeper in modern football, explaining, “You have to be capable of playing from the back and use your keeper as plus one. Otherwise, it’s simple for opponents to put you under pressure.”
As the club explores options, names like Diogo Costa and David Raya have surfaced as potential replacements for De Gea.
