Manchester United are closing in on an agreement with David de Gea over a new contract, sources have told ESPN.
The goalkeeper is approaching the end of his current deal and could leave Old Trafford for free at the end of the season.

United, however, believe they are close to an agreement which would see De Gea extend his stay while taking a cut in his basic wage but with larger performance-related incentives.
Most of the terms have been finalised although talks are continuing about how the contract is structured.
United also have the option of triggering a one-year extension to his existing deal which is valid until May, but there’s confidence at the club that fresh terms will be in place before that’s necessary.
