I suppose De Gea won't have any problems finding a new club during the summer pause, but ten Haag made a u-turn and expressed again that he doesn't fully trust him while still leaving a door oPen to re-sign him. Isn't this disrespectful when your club doesn't want to offer you a contract just yet, but first see what the market is doing and whether other goalkeepers become available? This is not disrespectful yet, but how awkward would the situation be for De Gea when Manchester United fails at signing a new goalkeeper and then as a second or third solution offer him a new contract. If that is how this is going to play out, he should be asking for a salary higher than he had before. He could be better off signing a new contract as a free agent elsewhere no matter how Manchester United decides.
De Gea is getting old and that's very hard for him to find a good offer because of his age, there are many teams that want to hire a player at this age, even a goalkeeper.
I was expecting to see De Gea finishing his career at Manchester United but unfortunately, he didn't get toe enough respect from this team.
I wouldn't consider De Gea too old yet to sign a last well paid and long-term contract.
it is not unusual for goalkeepers to play well until they are 37 or 38. It is much more common for them than for field players.
But goalkeepers are not abundantly available and therefore a club that decides to get De Gea knows what they are doing as they can view his history and performances, but I think that De Gea is not top clas in too many games. Sometimes it is an insecure game and people are holding their breath when players pass a ball back to him. It shouldn't be that way. I understand ten Haag when he is trying to get another goalkeeper for the coming season.
