De Gea to opt for Old Trafford stay
Will he stay or will he go? That's the great unanswered question regardingDavid De Gea's future, though the Sun is reporting that the Manchester United goalkeeper is ready to
snub a summer move to Real Madrid and instead sign a new two-year contract extension at Old Trafford.
United are desperate to hang onto the Spanish shot-stopper after two stellar seasons guarding the goal, and the paper suggests that the 24-year-old will opt against a return to Madrid for now and instead commit his short-term future to United for a cool £200,000-a-week.
Such a deal would, of course, leave us in exactly the same situation next year regarding speculation over his future, but a short-term deal would ensure United receive a fee and recoup some of their investment rather than see the keeper leave on a free transfer in 2016.
That would also give Iker Casillas ample time to plan his future away from the Bernabeu -- a decent move for both sides should Carlo Ancelotti want to stick with Spain's No. 1 for another year.
In further Manchester United goalkeeping news, the Mail reports that the club are close to sealing a deal for 16-year-old Standard Liege shot-stopperIlias Moutha Sebtaoui.
