Erik ten Hag told "uncomfortable" David de Gea will hold Man Utd back if he keeps No.1 spot

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has been told that David de Gea seems 'uncomfortable' with his 'unorthodox' style a worry ahead of this weekend's FA Cup final against Man City.

De Gea has made some high-profile errors this season, with mistakes in matches against Seville and West Ham recently throwing the 32-year-old into the spotlight. He will line up for United this Saturday's FA Cup final, facing Man City's fearsome attack, with the task of stopping Erling Haaland to prevent City from winning a famous treble.

Contract talks with the 'keeper are thought to be ongoing, with a cut to his reported £375,000 per week wage expected. However, there is also the consideration that a new keeper may be brought in, who would be more suited to ten Hag's style of play and push to take de Gea's place in the first team.
