Juventus are reportedly interested in signing De Gea on a free transfer if United do not renew the 31-year-old’s contract, and will be able to speak with him regarding a pre-contractual agreement in January.
The Red Devils will be weighing up whether to offer the goalkeeper a new deal, but former Aston Villa striker Gabby Agbonlahor has claimed that De Gea hasn’t done enough to earn a new contract and the club should be looking at replacements.
“I don’t think he deserves that contract,” Agbonlahor told Football Insider. “I would move on, to be honest. He’ll have a few good games but he’ll make errors.
The wages they’re talking about, £300,000-a-week, he doesn’t deserve that. I would move on and look at a younger option instead.”
United boss Erik ten Hag has had to alter his tactics due to De Gea, as in the first two Premier League games of the season he was instructed to play out from the back and connect with the centre-backs, which resulted in a high-profile mistake as United lost 4-0 to Brentford.
