Will De Gea get a new Man Utd contract? Goalkeeper wants to stay at Old Trafford for 'more years' as he enters final months of current deal

  • Into final year of current deal
  • Extension option could be triggered
  • Fresh terms may be presented

WHAT HAPPENED? The long-serving Spain international goalkeeper has entered the final year of his current deal at Old Trafford, although a 12-month extension option could be triggered. It may be that a new offer is put to the four-time Player of the Year at Old Trafford, with De Gea having been a model of consistency across much of his 11 years in English football.

WHAT THEY SAID: De Gea told BT Sport when quizzed on his future after United’s 2-1 Premier League victory away at Everton: “I'm just very focused on the games helping the team as much as I can. Of course, I would like to be here for more years, so let's see what happens in the future. I'm really, really happy here.”

THE BIGGER PICTURE: De Gea joined United from Atletico Madrid in 2011 and formed part of a title-winning squad under Sir Alex Ferguson in 2012-13, with the 31-year-old shot-stopper now just two games away from reaching 500 in total for the Red Devils.
