David De Gea (32), whose future was uncertain at Manchester United, has agreed to a contract extension, the British Telegraph reported on the 10th (Korean time).
According to this, De Gea has agreed with the club to stay at Old Trafford for another year.
De Gea accepted a salary cut offered by the club in order to extend his contract.
The current weekly wage of 375,000 pounds (about 620 million won) will be cut by more than half to 175,000 pounds (about 290 million won) next season.
However, this is a condition for receiving incentives based on the number of appearances and scoreless games.
De Gea has been negotiating a new contract with Manchester United ahead of its expiry in June.
However, as frequent mistakes have been repeated for several years, there have been many voices saying that the contract should not be renewed with De Gea. Last month, in the quarterfinals of the Europa League with Seville, he was responsible for being eliminated due to a decisive mistake, and in the match against West Ham on the 8th, he could not prevent a 0-1 defeat with the so-called ‘horror show’.
Despite this, manager Eric Tenhag has defended De Gea’s decision to remain at Manchester United.
“We have the most clean sheets in the Premier League. We wouldn’t be in this position without De Gea,” he said after the game against West Ham. “I hope to extend the contract,” he said.
The Sun analyzed, “However, even if De Gea remains, there is still no promise that he will remain as Tenhach’s starting goalkeeper next season.”
De Gea’s contract renewal was divided among Manchester United fans. There were conflicting opinions that he had passed his prime due to frequent mistakes and that he should catch him because it is difficult to find a goalkeeper who can realistically replace De Gea. 메이저놀이터
Manchester United have sent backup goalkeeper Dean Henderson on loan to Nottingham Forest. Prospects followed that they would find a long-term replacement for De Gea, now in his 30s, but Martin Dubravka was brought in on loan and another goalkeeper in the first team, Tom Heaton, is 36 years old this year.
De Gea joined Old Trafford from Atletico Madrid in the 2011-12 season and is currently playing his 12th season at Manchester United. He played 540 matches for Manchester United, including cup competitions.
