Spanish goalkeeper David De Gea is set to snub Real Madrid by signing a £350,000 weekly deal for five years at Manchester United.
De Gea has been continuously linked with a return to Spain, with Real Madrid heavily interested after a deal to bring him to the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu broke down in 2015 due to an administrative glitch.
Manchester United have De Gea under contract till 2019 but want to secure his services for longer to ward of any speculation.
According to a report by the Sun, United seek to tie De Gea down with the new deal before the start of the 2018 FIFA World Cupin Russia.

Provided that all terms are met, the reported contract should make De Gea the second highest earner at United behind winter acquisition Alexis Sanchez.
De Gea stated while on duty for Spain during the international break that he does not get the same 'respect and adoration' in Spain as he receives in England
United reportedly see his comments as an indicator that he is interested to remain at Old Trafford.
The report states that “The club wants it sorted. It has to be done in their eyes, they want David to go to the World Cup and come back knowing everything is settled.”
