David de Gea set to leave Manchester United
Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea appears to be on his way out of the club after 12 years with the Red Devils.
According to reports, De Gea had agreed to stay on at United for a reduced salary, but now the club have revised that offer to pay the gloveman even less.
That move seems to have forced the 32-year-old’s hand as he is now set to leave Manchester as a free agent on Saturday.
