"It's the single most difficult position in English football," according to Gary Neville.
It's now the single most difficult job which Erik ten Hag has to do in the summer transfer window; deciding Manchester United 's No.1 goalkeeper. It was a saga months in the making and now we're in the thick of it, closing in on a dramatic climax.
After 12 years of service - some forgettable, many unforgettable - David de Gea is no longer under contract at Old Trafford, having seen his £375,000-a-week deal expire on Saturday, the day of his wedding. But United aren't ready to move on from their four-time Player of the Year award winner just yet, at least not until they've found a worthy successor.
