De Gea was instrumental in the 1-0 win over West Ham on Sunday, making three key saves in the second half, and despite speculation over his long-term future, Ten Hag says he’s “happy” with the Spaniard.

“We said first we are focusing on the games but when we come to an end with this block, we have the World Cup and then we have to think about [his contract],” said Ten Hag.

“In the background we have our strategies for how to deal with it. It is clear already and I have already emphasised it several times, I am really happy with David. He is a great goalkeeper. He is only 31. He is fit. He can progress even more. He was already impressive for Man United and I think he will do that in the future as well.”
