da mrbet: As reported by The Sun, Manchester United will have to shell out big money if they’re to retain goalkeeping star David De Gea.
What’s the story?
da apostaganha: With his contract at Old Trafford due to expire at the end of next season, with the option of another year, the Spaniard is getting to the stage that signing a new deal or not will become a big priority.
The Sun report that he’s happy to stay at Manchester United, but only if the Red Devils nearly double his wage to a massive £350,000-a-week.
The paper say that while he’s eager to be paid his worth to the club, he won’t be demanding wages on the level of the likes of Paul Pogba and Alexis Sanchez.
Is shelling out the cash to retain the goalkeeper good business?

How important is he?
De Gea is one of the best goalkeepers in the world, the kind of presence between the sticks that would be almost impossible to replace at Old Trafford without a significant outlay.
The reported wage demanded may seem high but relative to today’s market, it’s probably a pretty fair reflection of his status in Jose Mourinho’s first team.
Rated at £45m by Transfermarkt, the Spaniard has made a massive 303 appearances for the Red Devils, keeping 115 clean sheets in the process, with a highlight reel of incredible saves accompanying that record.
If he’s willing to stay in Manchester, bowing to his wage demands is a no-brainer.
