Manchester United's manager, Mourinho, emphasizes the importance of retaining David de Gea in the team.
Manchester United Secures One-Year Extension for David de Gea
Manchester United has announced that it will trigger a one-year extension for goalkeeper David de Gea's contract, effectively keeping the Spanish international at Old Trafford until the end of the 2020-2021 season.
The news comes as a relief for United fans, who have seen their team struggle in the Premier League this season, currently sitting seventh in the table. Despite this, manager Jose Mourinho has maintained faith in de Gea, referring to him as the best goalkeeper in the world and expressing no concerns about his recent performances.
De Gea's importance to the team was evident in their recent 1-0 win over Young Boys in the Champions League, where he made a world-class save to secure the victory. However, in the goalless draw with Crystal Palace, de Gea did not have much to do, highlighting the limited threat posed by their opponents.
The decision to extend de Gea's contract was not unexpected, given the lack of interest from other clubs in the summer of 2019. Neither Manchester United nor any other club made a move to sign the goalkeeper, and there is no record of other clubs actively pursuing him at that time.
De Gea himself has shown a desire to stay at Manchester United, with his agent confirming that he is allowed to make his own decisions independently. This is in line with Mourinho's belief that de Gea wants to remain at the club, a sentiment he has expressed repeatedly.
The extension of de Gea's contract is a significant move for Manchester United, who are keen to retain their status as one of the world's leading clubs. Mourinho has consistently emphasised the importance of having the best players in the world, and de Gea is undoubtedly among them.
De Gea's history with the club is long and storied. He came close to joining Real Madrid in 2015 but ultimately remained at Manchester United. His performances since then have earned him a place among the club's most prized assets, a status that is likely to continue for at least another year.
The terms of the extension are still being finalised, but it is clear that de Gea's continued presence at Manchester United is a major boost for the team. With his exceptional skills and unwavering dedication, de Gea will continue to be a key player for the Red Devils as they strive to regain their former glory.
