Rio Ferdinand claims David de Gea has done enough to warrant a new contract at Manchester United - even though he may not be the best fit for Erik ten Hag's system.
De Gea, 31, has been on the Red Devils' books for over a decade and remains the first-choice goalkeeper at Old Trafford. That being said, Ten Hag reportedly harbours concerns over the Spaniard's suitability for his brand of football and is said to desire a shot-stopper who is more comfortable with the ball at their feet.
De Gea, for his part, recently stated he would like to extend his contract with United, which expires next summer, although there is the option to extend for a further season. Ferdinand confesses his former teammate is not the best in the business at passing out from the back but threw his weight behind the 'keeper to answer his critics once again.
