It is no secret that David de Gea could be interested in a move away from United, having been linked with a switch to Real Madrid for a few seasons. With Real Madrid signing Thibaut Courtois last season, it seems like they are no longer interested in signing the Red Devils' Spanish keeper.

Now, Express are reporting that de Gea could stay at Manchester United, and will sign a contract extension to his contract which expires in 2020. Mourinho's departure as Manchester United manager could urge the Spaniard to stay at the club.

This past week, interim manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer urged de Gea as well as Anthony Martial, whose contract also expires in 2020, to sign new contract extensions with the club.

"It's down to the players but when you're at Man United there isn't a lot of greener grass on the other side. You are at the best place. It's the biggest club in the world. "For me, I would hope I can help or guide these players to maybe tip them over to thinking they want to stay at this club. "If you are a regular at Manchester United, I think you should grasp the opportunity to stay here and become part of the history," said Solskjaer.
