The Red Devils narrowly beat Leicester City a fortnight ago at Old Trafford amid speculation surrounding the future of Paul Pogba and a negative atmosphere generated by Jose Mourinho’s pessimistic prediction that his side were in for a ‘difficult season’.
Manchester United were subsequently beaten at Brighton for the second time in four months last weekend, a loss which sparked a wave of fresh criticism ahead of Monday’s crunch match with Tottenham.
Despite the negativity, it is understood David De Gea is still keen to commit his career’s peak years to the club he joined seven years ago, although his agent is pushing for him to be rewarded with a deal that befits his status as one of the best stoppers in the world.
The Spain international’s agents are angling for a deal worth £350,000-a-week which would make the 27-year-old the club’s highest earner, taking into account basic salary only.
David De Gea’s representatives are said to feel their client’s value has increased as a result of the world record fees paid by Liverpool and then Chelsea for Alisson Becker and Kepa Arrizabalaga.
