The Daily Mail revealed that coach Erik Ten Hag did not want to keep David de Gea despite the goalkeeper reaching an agreement to extend his contract. The 32-year-old goalkeeper accepted a pay cut to stay at Old Trafford, but Man Utd changed their mind and did not want to sign a new contract according to the terms agreed by both parties.
Coach Erik ten Hag's attitude is said to be the reason why Man Utd are not interested in De Gea. The Red Devils' leadership continues to ask this goalkeeper to take a deeper pay cut than the one he accepted in the last agreement.
De Gea's current contract with Man Utd will expire after June 30. The Spanish star will become a free player. Man Utd can still sign a new contract with De Gea after that time. But with the current situation, his chances of staying are not high.
Ten Hag was not happy with De Gea's performance.
De Gea has been with Man Utd for 12 years. This player has established a solid position in the Man Utd squad for a long time. However, in the last 3 seasons, the Spanish goalkeeper's performance has not been stable and he has often faced criticism. Moreover, De Gea's poor ability to handle the ball with his feet has made Ten Hag unhappy.
Daily Mail reports that the Dutch coach is determined to find a new goalkeeper for Man Utd in the summer transfer window. Man Utd are negotiating with Inter Milan about the case of Andre Onana - the goalkeeper who impressed with his ability to keep the ball and pass the ball in the Champions League final.
The expected price is £50 million. Man Utd representatives have met with Onana's representatives to agree on contract terms. Onana was a student of coach Erik ten Hag at Ajax. Besides, Man Utd are also eyeing goalkeeper Diogo Costa of Porto and David Raya of Bentford.
