David has been with Manchester United since 2011 and has been a pillar in between the goal sticks.

His current contract, worth £375,000-a-week is set to expire in June 2023 and if he wishes to continue his United legacy, he will have to accept a contract with lesser pay. According to sources, the Red Devils have introduced a “Ronaldo rule” to ensure nobody is paid significantly more than their teammates. Salaries are said to be capped at £200,000-per-week, with David being the first one to be affected.

The 32-year old is said to be offered a ‘take-it-or-leave it’ deal in the region of £180,000-£200,000-a-week. Ronaldo used to earn £480,000-a-week before departing to Al-Nassr. Looking at the repercussions of the same, Chief Executive Richard Arnold, Director of Football, John Murtough, and manager, Erik ten Hag are going to employ a squad-wide pay cap, so that they avoid a culture of jealousy.

Bruno Fernandes signed a new 5-year deal in 2022 and is said to be earning in the same pay bracket. The Red Devils have also imposed wage sanctions on players’ contracts for failing to qualify for the Champions League. According to reports, this does not impact David De Gea as he wants to continue his journey at United.

The Spaniard also mentioned how talks with the club were going well and he is confident that things will end in a good way. The deal is yet to be formalized and Erik will be hoping that the pen is put to paper soon. But, in case this deal falls through, United is also keeping tabs on Yann Sommer and Diogo Costa. All things point toward the Spaniard continuing to guard the sticks at Old Trafford in the near future.
