De Gea SIGNED Man Utd contract extension only for club to pull deal and offer LOWER salary as he faces exit in 3 days | The Sun

DAVID DE GEA reportedly signed a new contract with Manchester United this month before the club BACKED OUT of the agreement.

The goalkeeper's current deal is set to expire this week, meaning he could become a free agent from Saturday.

United officials are eager to keep him at Old Trafford, but only if he agrees to take a huge pay cut.

They have been in talks with the 32-year-old for months, but a breakthrough was finally made in recent weeks… before club chiefs had a change of heart.

According to The Athletic, De Gea recently agreed and signed an extension with the Red Devils, only for the club to pull out of the deal.

The Spaniard accepted a drastic reduction on his current £375,000-a-week salary, but United officials did not sign the contract.
