De Gea holds United in chess

The Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea is not in a hurry to renew his contract with the club, and may not do so at all. According to The Telegraph, a meeting between his agent, Jorge Mendes and the Red Devils, was held in London last Friday to discuss the extension of the Spanish national contract, but the two sides have not reached an agreement.

De Gea is not convinced that United will have the strength to fight for trophies on the domestic scene as well as in Europe.

De Gea is on Old Trafford since 2011, when he was drawn from Atletico Madrid. He already has over 300 Red Devils.
