MANCHESTER UNITED are reportedly set to begin contract talks with first-team goalkeeper David de Gea after his impressive start to the season.
The Spaniard’s current deal is set to expire in the summer of 2023 and United want to avoid a similar dilemma they have with top star Paul Pogba, who could leave for free for a SECOND time.
According to journalist Ekrem Konur, the Red Devils will begin contract talks with the 31-year-old soon.
De Gea has been a regular at United since the back end of the Sir Alex Ferguson era.
His most impressive seasons can under Louis van Gaal and Jose Mourinho, winning an FA Cup, Europa League and a League Cup.
And this season he’s showing signs that his old form is returning.
United have performed under par for the majority of this season, but De Gea has played a major part in keeping the scoreline down and keeping them in the hunt for European football.
One of his most important saves this term came against top-four rivals West Ham.

Hammers captain Mark Noble stepped up for a last gasp penalty to tie the game up at 2-2 and share the points, but De Gea pushed the effort away from goal to seal three points for the Red Devils.
And with No2 Dean Henderson’s future in doubt, it’s imperative the club don’t lose both of them.
Newcastle are interested in signing Henderson in January, with the keeper desperate to impress in order to make Gareth Southgate’s 2022 World Cup squad.
