      by

      De Gea, 31, has been at United since 2011 after a £19million move from Atletico Madrid.
      But his current deal expires in 2023, and talks are yet to commence over an extension.
      De Gea’s contract has an option which would take it to 2024.
      However, that would see United continue to pay his £375k weekly wage.

      And it’s believed Red Devils chiefs are hesitant to continue forking out the huge sum.
      The Athletic now claims De Gea is ready to take action himself in order to remain in the north-west.
      They say the gloveman is “open” to accepting reduced terms on a brand new deal, sealing his future at United for at least one more year.
      De Gea is currently in his 12th season at the Theatre of Dreams.

      And his strong form suggests he has no plans to slow down.
      Indeed, boss Erik ten Hag wants to De Gea remain after delighting in his recent performances.
      And talks on a deal could commence once the season is back underway following the World Cup.
      Ten Hag said: “We said first we are focusing on the games but when we come to an end with this block, we have the World Cup and then we have to think about [his contract].
      “In the background we have our strategies for how to deal with it.
      “It is clear already and I have already emphasised it several times.

      “I am really happy with David, he is a great goalkeeper. He is only 31, he is fit, he can progress even more.
      “He was already impressive for Man United and I think he will do that in the future as well.” More

      Dalot’s contract is set to expire in the summer, with Barcelona among a host of teams interested in securing his signature for free.
      According to Spanish paper Mundo Deportivo, Mendes has offered Dalot to Barca, a club he has an “exquisite relationship” with.
      The super-agent has “backed” and “personally endorsed” a move to the LaLiga giants for his client, despite the right-back enjoying his best season at Man United to date.
      Asked about his future after the 1-0 win over West Ham last weekend, Dalot was noncommittal.

      He told Sky Sports: “I don’t think it’s the time to think about my contract situation.
      “We’re in the process to improve our game as team.
      “I love to play for Man United as I always try to show. I’m happy – this is the most important thing.”

      He said: “They’ve all contributed. They’re all going to (David) De Gea but Dalot, (Lisandro) Martinez, (Harry) Maguire and De Gea in that last 15-20 minutes were outstanding.
      “(David) Moyes must wonder what he needs to do to win a game at Old Trafford. He can’t believe it.”
      Dalot, 23, has started every game this season under Erik ten Hag.
      His form has seen Aaron Wan-Bissaka frozen out at Old Trafford.
      Barca, meanwhile, have used a number of players at right-back this term – including Jules Kounde, Sergi Roberto, Hector Bellerin and Alejandro Balde.

      Man Utd desperate not to lose Marcus Rashford and will activate contract clause by January if they cannot agree new deal

      by

      This means he is free to begin talks with non-English clubs from the turn of the year.
      Rashford’s representatives met with Paris Saint-Germain in the summer but a move never seemed close to being done.
      And United boss Erik ten Hag is now keen to keep him at the club as he sees the England man as integral to his plans.
      The Mail, confirming our story from September, say this means United will look to trigger the one-year extension written into Rashford’s £200,000-a-week contract.

      The club are not confident of tying him down to a new contract before January, particularly given the World Cup is on the horizon.
      As a result, it is believed they will utilise a clause to further his existing deal by 12 months, giving them time to negotiate a new deal.
      Rashford has shown a return to form so far this season as Ten Hag has put faith in him to lead the line for United ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo.
      He has contributed seven goals and three assists in 15 appearances.

      His 100th goal for the club came on Sunday as the Red Devils beat West Ham 1-0 at Old Trafford.
      And the forward, who has been with United since he was seven, praised Ten Hag’s impact on the team morale.
      He said: “When you are playing in a team sport, you want the players to be together.
      “The energy is more positive within the whole team and at the training ground, that is the biggest thing.
      “It is stuff he [Ten Hag] mentioned as soon as he came in.” More

      Man Utd want Norwich’s Max Aarons in shock January transfer swoop to rival Diogo Dalot

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED are weighing up a January move for Norwich’s Max Aarons.Red Devils boss Erik Ten Hag is keen to bring in another right-back to rival Diogo Dalot with Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s Old Trafford future in doubt.

      United have been long-term admirers of Aarons and were one of eight clubs who scouted the 22-year-old at England Under-21s victory over Germany at Bramall Lane in September.
      Aarons, valued at £10million by Norwich, is one option in the frame with Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong also understood to be under consideration.
      Ten Hag hailed first-choice Dalot’s improvement after the Portugal right-back produced an impressive display in the 1-0 Premier League victory over West Ham on Sunday.
      But the Dutchman also sent a clear message that he wants to bolster the competition in his squad with out-of-favour Wan-Bissaka playing just four minutes for United in all competitions this season.

      Ten Hag said: “We need two good full-backs [on the left and the right] because we have a lot of games to come.”
      Highly-rated Aarons has made 19 appearances for fifth-placed Championship outfit Norwich this season.
      The Canaries rejected a loan bid with an option to buy from Borussia Monchengladbach for Aarons in August with ex-Norwich boss Daniel Farke keen to be reunited with him in Germany.
      The Carrow Road club also snubbed loan offers from Serie A duo Atalanta and Monza.

      Dalot has turned out 15 times for United this season across all competitions, starting in every single appearance.
      He moved to Old Trafford from Porto for £19million in 2018, despite having made just eight senior appearances for the Portuguese side.
      Before joining Porto’s academy at the age of nine, he played for a club in Braga called Fintas.
      Dalot holds Fintas near and dear to his heart. So much so he bought his childhood club a minibus.

      Speaking to The Times, the right-back recalled his dad inviting the club’s two presidents over to his house, where he presented them with the gift which came out of his first United paycheck.
      He said: “I bought it for them when I gained my first salary from United.
      “I wanted to give something back to Fintas, because legally they wouldn’t receive anything for my transfer from Porto. 
      “I knew a van would help them a lot, because they have to pick up kids from the houses and sometimes the parents had to drive them.

      “I remember my father was driving me to training every single time, sometimes picking up other kids because their parents could not — so I think the van was the right choice.”
      Despite being a busy football superstar, Dalot still makes time to go and visit his former team when in Braga.
      Coach Luis Travessa Martins said in 2019: “Whenever he comes to Braga, he comes to visit us, he watches the games and takes time to talk to the young players.
      “He is an inspiration to our players.” More

      Man Utd verdict: Red Devils grind out tense win vs West Ham but wastefulness in front of goal could dent top-four charge

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED’S wastefulness in front of goal could dent their top-four charge with more ruthless teams making them pay.The Red Devils managed to grind out a 1-0 win against the Hammers, but it was a game littered with misplaced passes and very little shots on target.

      Marcus Rashford scored the winner, rising high at the back post to meet Christian Eriksen’s inch-perfect cross.
      The win lifts United above top-four rivals Chelsea and one point behind fourth-place Newcastle.
      Three points is all well and good but they didn’t make it easy on themselves.
      They played a toothless West Ham side, who can’t seem to penetrate the 18-yard box to save their lives.
      READ MORE ON MAN UTD
      And United out-shot their opponents, but mustered just three shots on target from 16, with numerous shots fizzing wide of the target.
      Wantaway star Cristiano Ronaldo had a golden opportunity to put the game to bed in the second half, but slashed his shot wide of Alphonse Areola’s right post and high into the Stretford End.
      The Hammers’ anonymous performance in front of goal should come as no surprise to anyone, with David Moyes’ team taking just four from an available 72 before their trip to Old Trafford.
      But better, more ambitious sides will have no trouble making United sweat, taking a point or all three.

      Sloppy passing at times in the game also presented the opposition with the chance to get at United – but Moyes’ men passed on the opportunity.
      United now won’t play a league home game until after the winter World Cup.
      But they have favourable Premier League fixtures against Aston Villa and Fulham where they can put it right and meet Erik ten Hag’s expectations of controlling games. More
