If David de Gea is playing hardball with Manchester United then he might be waking up this morning regretting his negotiating position. His stance has been considerably weakened after a woeful night in Seville.
Rather than looking to wring a few extra thousand pounds a week out of United, the Spanish goalkeeper might have to make concessions of his own. This was a performance so disastrous that it could well force a rethink of the entire strategy for Erik ten Hag's goalkeepers.
Collectively this was an abomination of a performance from United, but the 3-0 defeat to Sevilla that dumped them out of the Europa League will be a stain on De Gea's copybook. He has been a great for United, but the question over whether he is good enough and suitable enough to continue are getting louder. They were deafening in the Ramon Sanchez-Pijuan.
