David de Gea has sent a clear message to Erik ten Hag as he fights for his Manchester United future - with the Spaniard insisting that he and his Old Trafford teammates "want" to control games and play out from the back.
De Gea has spent over a decade at the club and has won plenty of plaudits in recent years after impressing in a United side that has consistently struggled to live up to expectations. However, there has been constant speculation over the 32-year-old's future since Ten Hag's arrival.
The Dutchman was synonymous with a more expansive, attractive playing style during his trophy-laden tenure at Ajax and is eager for United to dictate games with the ball.
