      The Spaniard has publicly revealed he’s contemplating his future with the Red Devils
      A new four-year contract, which included a massive pay cut, is understood to have been on the cards for the Spain international – who is using his summer holiday to weigh up his next move.
      The 32-year-old shared a video of himself wading through crystal-clue water to his Twitter and Instagram with the accompanying caption: “Relax. Recharge. Contemplate.”

      And another said: “New journeys at a new club ahead.”
      One chimed in: “Whatever you decide, we hope you’re happy in the end, you’ve been a great servant to this club over the years.”
      Another jumped to his De Gea’s defence by saying: “You deserve a retirement, Dave.

      De Gea – who moved to Old Trafford in the summer of 2011 – is reportedly a summer target for multiple Saudi sides.
      But United boss Erik ten Hag is confident the long-time Red Devil will be at the club next season.
      Speaking after his penalty save on the final day of the Premier League season, the Dutchman said: “We want him to stay.

      “It shows you can progress, it was a great save, it’s a step up in his performance.
      “I think that it’s a symbol for our team during the season, good is not good enough, you have to do better.
      “It was a great save in the right moment of the game. We turned the game and we win the game.”
      United have, however, earmarked Brentford stopper David Raya as a potential replacement for the former Atletico Madrid man.
      But Ten Hag is said to have been put off by the £40million price tag the Bees have slapped on the 27-year-old. More

      Man United consider sending Mason Greenwood out on loan to a European club for WHOLE of next season

      Man United officials are said to be considering sending Greenwood out for an entire year, as their internal probe continues with several European teams showing interest.
      Mail Sport reports that the likely options are Italy, Spain and Turkey after the club stepped up their investigation into the 21-year-old.
      Last month, The Sun exclusively revealed that Juventus were keen to take on Greenwood – giving him a route back to top-level football.
      And the Italian club hope a long-term loan deal can be agreed this summer, while Milan and Roma are also keen on signing Greenwood.

      It is unlikely the Bradford-born player will head to another Premiere League club.
      The footballer still has two years remaining on his £75,000-a-week contact and United fear they will struggle to attract a serious fee if they opted to sell.
      The club faces two options – either release the player following the probe if found to have brought the club into disrepute or send him overseas to allow time for further investigation.
      It provides United with a chance to gauge public reaction to the move and also to monitor Greenwood’s playing ability following his time away from football.
      Most read in Football
      That makes a long-term loan his likeliest chance of a move, and that’s only as long as the club he joins agrees to cover his wages.
      The 21-year-old was suspended when the allegations were made against him in January of last year and he has not featured for United since.
      All merchandise bearing the No11’s name was axed from the official Utd site and teammates unfollowed him on Instagram.
      Greenwood was due to stand trial in November, 2023 after being accused of attempted rape, assault and coercive control.
      The Crown Prosecution dropped the charges, citing “a withdrawal of key witnesses and new material that came to light meant there was no longer a realistic prospect of conviction”.

      Messi, 35, instead joined MLS side Inter Miami on a contract that will see him earn £43million-a-year which equates to £830,000-a-week.
      But Xavi was quick to shut down any chance of a reunion with Neymar.
      Xavi was asked about the rumours that the Brazilian had offered himself to Barcelona by podcast Jijantes FC and said: “I’m surprised… he’s not in our plan.
      “I really like Ney as a friend, but we have different priorities.”

      Neymar and Xavi were Barcelona team-mates with the two playing together from 2013 to 2015 before Xavi left for Qatari club Al Sadd.
      Both were key players in a Barca side that won the treble in 2015.
      Neymar left Barcelona for PSG in 2017 for a world record fee of £200m.
      It is not the first time the forward has offered to return to Barca after enduring a mixed spell during his time in Paris.

      Despite winning 13 trophies at PSG he has never established himself as the star man of the team, and has instead been overshadowed by Kylian Mbappe and Messi.
      Last year, Neymar told Brazil legend Ronaldo on the Fenomenos Podcast that he “tried everything” to return to Barcelona in the summer of 2019.
      Xavi’s comments have shut down any last notion of a return to the Catalan club but the Brazilian has suitors in the form of Manchester United and Chelsea.
      French outlet L’Equipe claim negotiations have taken place between Neymar’s team and United with the forward’s preference being to join the Manchester club.
      And Chelsea owner Todd Boehly has long been a fan of Neymar, reportedly holding a meeting to sign him back in February. More

      According to L’Equipe, they are close to signing Monaco’s Axel Disasi, who was previously linked with Chelsea and Bayern Munich.
      The move has seemingly come out of nowhere, with reports claiming that United have “no issue” in matching the French club’s asking price of around £44million.
      Disasi has made 129 appearances for Monaco, playing both centrally and at right-back.
      The 25-year-old has been capped three times by France and was part of their World Cup squad which lost to Argentina in the final in December.

      United manager Erik ten Hag is determined to bolster his defensive options, with Harry Maguire likely to leave the club.
      Club captain Maguire was the Red Devils’ record defensive signing when he joined from Leicester for 85m back in 2019.

      But has been heavily linked with a move to Tottenham in recent days after his much-publicised form struggles.
      The Premier League giants have also been linked with Napoli centre-back Kim Min-jae, which would cost them 43m in a release clause.

      However, the club are still open to offers for the Swedish international.
      Eric Bailly – who spent this season on loan at Marseille – is set to leave United in a permanent deal.
      Meanwhile, Axel Disasi has his heart set on the Premier League, with the Red Devils being his first choice.
      L’Equipe report that although the deal for Disasi is ‘close’, the two clubs have not actually commenced final negotiations.

      But the offer from Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy was not good enough, so the defender signed for Leicester instead.
      Equally, Chelsea do have a number of central defenders, and Kalidou Koulibaly and Trevoh Chalobah would have to be offloaded first.
      United, meanwhile, are desperate to sign Mount and look set to beat Liverpool in the race for the midfielder, whose contract talks with Chelsea stalled.

      Man Utd flop ‘accepts it’s time to leave’ after disastrous £35m transfer as Erik ten Hag begins summer rebuild

      by

      Ten Hag has reportedly made eight players available for transfer to fund any new arrivals.
      The Guardian report that Van de Beek will likely be amongst those departures, with the 26-year-old exploring his options.
      His imminent exit will mark an end to a difficult three-year spell with the Red Devils.
      An underwhelming loan spell with Everton was followed by an injury-ravaged season last term.

      The final nail in the coffin is understood to be United’s plans to strengthen their midfield, as they continue talks for Mason Mount.
      Van de Beek has scored just twice in 60 appearances for United since arriving from Ajax for £35million in 2020.
      His poor form and injuries have seen him fail to play a full 90 minutes for the club since December 2021.
      The midfielder missed 48 matches through injury in the 2022/23 season, with most of those caused by a season-ending knee injury he suffered in January.
