Manchester United told David de Gea can give Erik ten Hag surprise transfer boost

Former Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Foster has suggested that the Reds could save millions by offering shot-stopper David de Gea a new contract at Old Trafford.

The Spaniard, who recorded his 500th appearance for United in the Premier League clash with Newcastle United on Sunday, is out of contract at the end of the season - though United can extend his deal by a further 12 months - and it remains to be seen if the club will offer the 31-year-old a new deal.

De Gea signed for the Reds in 2011 from Atletico Madrid and has been the club's first-choice goalkeeper for a number of years. It was suggested in the summer that new manager Erik ten Hag might look to replace the Spain international with someone more accustomed to playing out from the back.
