Manchester United agreed to a new deal with De Gea. According to reports, David de Gea, the custodian for Manchester United, and the team have reached an agreement. After the current campaign, the Spaniard’s contract will expire.
According to The Telegraph, De Gea, 31, has reached an agreement on a new contract that involves a reduced base income and bonuses for appearances in games and competitive performances. Manchester United is anticipated to make a statement soon.
That puts a stop to months of rumors regarding De Gea’s future and his position in Erik Ten Hag’s squad. The Spanish custodian is not certain of a spot in the starting lineup for the upcoming campaign, the report adds.
De Gea has had a mixed season despite numerous obvious errors, none more so than the costly blunder that allowed Said Benrahma to score the game-winning goal in West Ham’s 1-0 victory last Sunday (May 7). This season, the Spaniard has played 53 times in various tournaments while recording 23 shutouts.
Following his error against West Ham, Ten Hag supported De Gea by saying that the team wanted to keep him. He will now continue to hold the record for the club’s longest-active player, it seems. 2011 saw his transfer from Atletico Madrid to Old Trafford.
In the summer, Manchester United is anticipated to be looking for a new striker and midfielder. This is true even though David Raya, the custodian for Brentford, has been connected to Ten Hag’s team.
Ian Wright gives teams advice on how to take advantage of David de Gea:
De Gea of Manchester United was at fault for West Ham’s winning goal. De Gea has made several errors this season, notably the one against West Ham on Sunday. Benrahma’s strike trickled into the goal, but the Spaniard fumbled it as he dove low.
Just two weeks earlier, Sevilla had put on a terrible performance in the quarterfinals of the UEFA Europa League. When two attackers were closing in on Harry Maguire, De Gea badly passed the ball out to him, which ultimately resulted in a goal.
De Gea can be used against him, according to Wright, who has studied his performances since he seems uneasy with people. To Premier League Productions, he said: “Whenever bodies are placed around him, he becomes quite wobbly. I still don’t see why teams don’t intentionally put inswinging corners against him all the time. He never feels at ease in that circumstance.”
De Gea has now committed four mistakes this season that have resulted in goals. Ten Hag continues to support his shot-stopper by referring to the fact that he has the most league-wide clean sheets (15). But the longest-tenured member of the team still struggles with blunders.
