Man Utd ‘hold talks with agent in Manchester’ as Erik ten Hag steps up £43m transfer chase | Football | Sport
United have publicly supported the Spain international, despite his clear issues with playing out from the back.
Yet, behind the scenes, Ten Hag is keen to bring in a goalkeeper more suited to his style of play.
De Gea would, in an ideal world, return to Spain.
But Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid don’t need a new goalkeeper, which means he could end up moving to Saudi Arabia instead.
Meanwhile, speaking recently, Dimitar Berbatov expressed a belief that either Onana or Mike Maignan would be a good replacement for De Gea.
