Manchester United must retain De Gea, according to Mourinho
Manchester United and David de Gea in Transfer Speculation
Manchester United and goalkeeper David de Gea are in discussions to agree on terms that are acceptable to both parties, as the Spanish shot-stopper has been the subject of transfer speculation.
Reports suggest that Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus are interested in securing the services of de Gea, who has been a crucial figure for United since joining the club in 2011.
Amidst the transfer rumours, Jose Mourinho, United's manager, has maintained that de Gea wants to stay at Old Trafford. The Portuguese tactician believes that it is a mere formality for the club to tie down the Spaniard, one of their most prized assets.
De Gea's agent has also confirmed that the player is free to make decisions about his future without any manipulation. However, the goalkeeper has not made a public statement regarding his intentions.
In a recent goalless draw with Crystal Palace, de Gea did not touch the ball extensively, highlighting his impact when he is required to make saves. His value to the team was emphasized, with Mourinho stating that he is considered the best when needed to touch the ball.
De Gea's world-class save secured a 1-0 victory for Manchester United against Young Boys in the Champions League. While the player who scored the winning goal remains unidentified, de Gea's performance was instrumental in maintaining the clean sheet.
The Manchester United board also wants de Gea to stay, as the club aims to retain players of his calibre to preserve their status as one of the world's leading clubs.
Despite de Gea's impressive performances, Mourinho believes that even he could have kept a clean sheet against Young Boys. The team's clean sheet was not attributed solely to de Gea's performance, with the defence also playing a significant role.
De Gea came close to joining Real Madrid in 2015, but the move did not materialise. Mourinho's recent statements suggest that a contract extension for de Gea is imminent, with the goalkeeper expected to sign a one-year deal.
Manchester United currently sits seventh in the Premier League, and the club is eager to improve their position in the league and continue their success in the Champions League with de Gea in goal.
