David de Gea's bid to bring Manchester United back into talks over a new contract is being strengthened by Erik ten Hag’s reluctance to splash the cash on a new keeper.
De Gea, 32, will become a free agent next weekend - and United have told him he will have to take a significant cut on his current £375,000-a-week wages to extend his 12-year Old Trafford stay.
United’s last offer is believed to be in excess of £200,000-a-week. But the Spaniard is aware that manager Ten Hag has other priorities as he plots how to spend his £120million transfer kitty.
