Like it or not, the end is nigh for David de Gea as Manchester United's undisputed No.1 goalkeeper.
A 12-year servant, four-time Player of the Year award winner and the final Sir Alex Ferguson-signed star to still be at Old Trafford, De Gea embodies a bittersweet era for a portion of United supporters. But it's now June 2023 and we're in the final days of his £375,000 contract which was agreed back when the Spaniard was undisputedly the finest player of the Red Devils' post-Ferguson malaise.
Make no mistake, United are still enduring that period of underperformance, but a ruthless Erik ten Hag is ready to change that. Midway through last season, De Gea was offered a contract which would see him suffer a significant drop on his eye-watering wage packet.
