David De Gea set to leave United for nothing

Manchester United will lose David de Gea for nothing next summer if the Spain number goal keeper refused to extend his contract with the club.

Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea is ready to leave the club on a free transfer, according to the Sun. 

The 28-year-old had been expected to sign a new deal in the summer but he is yet to follow through. One sticking point is that he does not want to take a 25% pay cut if the club fail to qualify for the Champions League. 

*** De Gea might well be worried about missing out on the top four, and that would be partly his fault given his form so far this season. There have been mistakes, and he looks vulnerable. Unless that changes soon it would make sense for United to ship him out in January if possible, or find a replacement in the summer - he is not the player he once was.
