David De Gea and his team of representatives remain locked in negotiations with Manchester United over a potential new contract.
In summer 2020, the Spain international will officially be a free agent – a scenario Old Trafford chiefs are keen to avoid.

The Red Devils want to pay De Gea £350,000-a-week to keep him in the Premier League which is a significant increase on his current £200,000-a-week terms.
According to the Daily Mirror , the 28-year-old is holding out for closer to £500,000-a-week and that is holding up the negotiation process.
Were it not for a faulty fax machine, the shot-stopper may well have joined Real Madrid in the summer of 2015 and Los Blancos have retained an interest.
Former Chelsea star Thibaut Courtois moved to the Bernabeu in the summer, but has failed to justify his £35million fee.
