David de Gea does not want to be Manchester United's player of the year next season – because it means they will have had another failed campaign.
Jose Mourinho said there was something fundamentally wrong with a club when a goalkeeper is named player of the year, as De Gea was, four times between 2014 and 2018. De Gea agreed with his former United boss and is keeping his fingers crossed he is not picking up the Sir Matt Busby trophy at the end of Erik ten Hag's first season in charge.
"Yeah, I totally agree,” said De Gea. “It's good for me, of course, I love to win trophies, but I totally agree with what he said. It must be a striker, a midfielder. For sure, this season it's going to be another player or striker."
