David De Gea has been a longtime professional of Manchester United and a successful outlet for them ever since his recruitment from Atletico Madrid in 2011 for $17 million.
Manchester United won the 2012-13 Premier League title with him at the post, and he won the Golden Glove as the best goalkeeper of the 2017/18 season.

With Ronaldo gone, De Gea is the highest-paid player at Manchester United with weekly earnings of $375,000, and his contract is set to expire at the end of the new season.
De Gea is too expensive for Manchester United to keep, so when the new season starts, they will release the Spaniard. This is due to the arrival of several significant summer signings and the subsequent increase in their salaries.
However, there is a possibility that De Gea could lower his wages and end the chapter at Manchester United in a happy way as he is still on top of his form in the current campaign, rescuing his team number of occasions and there will be a discussion on board for now.

When asked, whether he could finish his career at the Theatre of Dreams, De Gea replied: “I hope so. I was saying this is my club, I’ve been here many, many years and it’s a huge honor to be here and I’m so happy here.”
“Yeah, I’m very relaxed [about the contract], just focused on training, performing as best as I can. But, for sure, it’s going to end in a good way.”- De Gea further added.
The Red Devils absolutely love their former cult hero, DaveSaves, who earned the nickname after making a Premier League record 14 saves against Arsenal. Although he is aging, still Dave possesses a razor-sharp existence.

Manchester United better not lose the Spanish showstopper from the team and definitely going to find a way to negotiate, at least for the fan’s speculations.
