David de Gea not close to new Manchester United contract

26 August 2018 - 11:44

Spain international David de Gea is reportedly delaying the prospect of extending his contract with Manchester United amid concerns over the salary package.

  • Chelsea to move for former Arsenal goalkeeper?
  • Arsenal handed huge boost ahead of Bournemouth clash

  • The 27-year-old has featured in both league games for Manchester United since the start of the season and Jose Mourinho recently confirmed that the club are close to committing the shot-stopper to a new contract.

    However, according to The Record, that does not seem the case with the Spaniard yet to agree upon terms over a possible extension with the Mancunian giants.

    De Gea is presently on a salary package of £200,000-a-week and he is supposedly eyeing a 50 percent wage rise which would put him on par with Alexis Sanchez and Paul Pogba, who are among the highest earners.

    Unlike recent seasons, De Gea has yet to register a clean sheet after the first two games of the campaign but he will be hoping for better luck when Tottenham Hotspur make the visit to Old Trafford on Monday night.
