Here's what Erik ten Hag said about David de Gea's Manchester United future

David de Gea's contract situation is a hot topic at the moment. His United contract expired on June 30. The longstanding goalkeeper was initially offered a contract renewal.

United, however, have since withdrawn their offer. Erik ten Hag was asked about De Gea's future at the club last month. The Dutchman told The Times:

"Yes, but I will not say he'll always be my number one because in a club like Manchester United there must be competition in all positions. You can’t do it with 11 players. It is impossible. You need double positions."

Since joining the club in 2011, De Gea has been a diligent servant of the outfit. He has so far made 545 appearances for them, keeping 190 clean sheets. De Gea won the Premier League Golden Glove in 2022-23.

However, the Spaniard made a few high-profile errors as well. He is not very adept with his distribution, a trait that Ten Hag needs from his goalkeeper. Hence, the Red Devils are exploring other options to become the club's first choice.
