David de Gea, Manchester United's long-serving goalkeeper, has rejected the club's opening contract offer ahead of the summer window. At 32, de Gea knows he cannot command the same type of money as his previous contract, which made him both the club's highest-paid player and the Premier League's top earner at £375,000 per week. Recently, de Gea has struggled with errors that have cost his side, particularly under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's tenure, and his style of play has been questioned due to Erik ten Hag's possession-based ethos. United is thought to be looking for a new goalkeeper this summer, and Diogo Costa from Porto and Brentford's David Raya is on their list. Nonetheless, de Gea could face an uncertain future at Old Trafford because of wage demands. He is now set to face competition for his place undoubtedly. According to various news reports, Manchester United wants to cut his weekly wage from £375k to £200k. However, de Gea insists he still is one of the top-flight's best goalkeepers with 13 clean sheets to his name in the Premier League. Moreover, he remains calm and focused, stating that now is not the time to lose focus and think about contracts.
