Man Utd To Offer De Gea New Deal – Mourinho
Jose Mourinho has confirmed that Manchester United will offer David De Gea a new contract.
United have an option to extend De Gea’s contract, which runs until 2019, by a further year, and Mourinho has confirmed that the club will trigger that clause while also attempting to negotiate longer terms with the Spaniard.
“Its obvious we are not going to let the option [in Dea Gea’s contract] disappear,” he said, per the Daily Telegraph. “A goalkeeper like he is, and obviously a club that wants to be better and better and better, we are not going to let that year option go away.
‘But obviously we are going to try [to extend his contract]. Mr Woodward [Ed Woodward, the club’s executive chairman] is not on holiday. He barely has holidays. Of course he’s going to try to give him a contract that keeps him here for much longer than that option that, of course, we are going to execute.”
De Gea has been ever present for United in the Premier League this season, conceding just 16 goals in 22 games.
