Manchester United would like to keep goalkeeper David De Gea beyond his current deal which expires at the end of the season.

De Gea, 32, has been at United since he was signed by legendary former manager Sir Alex Ferguson from Atletico Madrid back in 2011.

What’s the latest on David De Gea’s Man United contract?

Despite being a club legend, now at the age of 32, time is against De Gea, and with his deal ticking down, there has been speculation that the veteran keeper could be moved on.

However, according to a recent report from the Manchester Evening News, United would like to keep their number one on but have acknowledged that in order to be awarded a new deal, he must first accept a reduced salary.

Currently earning £ 375,000 per week, United have reportedly offered a deal of £ 250,000 per week, and even though that would mean taking a huge £ 125,000-per-week pay cut, it is believed both parties are keen to reach an agreement.

Should De Gea accept, it is expected that he will finish his career with the Red Devils.
