Manchester United are allegedly set to begin contract discussions with first-team goalkeeper David de Gea after his stunning start to the season.

The Spaniard’s existing deal is set to expire in June 2023 and the board are keen to avoid a similar dilemma the club have with midfielder Paul Pogba, who could leave for nothing for the second time in his career.

According to journalist Ekrem Konur, the 20-time English champions will begin negotiations with the 31-year-old star soon.

The shot-stopper has been a regular at the Theatre of Dreams since the back end of the Sir Alex Ferguson era.

David’s most impressive campaigns came under Jose Mourinho and Louis van Gaal, winning an FA Cup, UEFA Europa League and a League Cup and this campaign he’s showing signs that his best form is returning.

The Red Devils have performed under par for the majority of this term, but David has played a big part in keeping the scoreline down and keeping the side in the hunt for European football.
