David De Gea was one of the highest-paid goalkeepers in Europe. But his performance has reduced drastically in recent times, yet he still wants the same wage. Manchester United is unwilling to grant him such a lucrative contract. Andree Onana will be a better and cheaper alternative. He is still young and will spend more time with the Red Devils. If the deal to bring Onana fails the club might consider bringing back the loaned Dean Henderson from Nottingham Forest and also put much effort to sign the Japanese international goalkeeper Zion Suzuki.

De Gea's performance is not too bad He is even included in the ranks of the 4 best goalkeepers in the Premier League based on the number of goals conceded after all the success of Manchester United finished in 3rd place was due to De Gea's efforts it's just that Manchester thinks his ability will slowly decrease and they need to regenerate. I agree if the salary should be lowered and allocated to a new goalkeeper unfortunately De Gea did not agree and had to be released.

Although De Gea did not perform badly, Manchester United may not have been able to perform as well as before, so they may have come to such a decision. If De Gea has been offered a cut by Manchester United to stay at the club, De Gea should have taken a cut to stay at the club as he is an old enough goalkeeper to leave the club at this moment. Don't wait for money. If he could have improved his game a little more by playing a regular goalkeeper for Manchester United for one more season at a reduced salary, Manchester United might have renewed his contract with him again next season. It is natural that he will have to leave the team if he does not take a pay cut according to the terms of the club.

No, their plan has never been to offer De Gea a new contract, but it all depended on whether they can find a new goalkeeper and that was an open secret. As soon as they successfully found an alternative for De Gea, they refrained from negotiating any further with him and that was expected by everyone. The goal was to sign a much younger goalkeeper who can actually still develop and get better and who is less prone to fatal mistakes during the game like De Gea had them more and more often in the last few years.

That's true because the harsh reality is that De Gea made too many mistakes at key moments last season, and that has been a highlight for Erik Ten Hag since taking over as Manchester United coach last season.
and reportedly Erik Ten Hag has a football philosophy similar to Guardiola, if you remember like Joe Hart Manchester City's best goalkeeper at that time. Guardiola dropped Joe Hart and selected Willy Caballero for his first Premier League game in goal, and he knows exactly what his club needs like Erik Ten Hag De Gea did for Manchester United.

Yes, that is the point. Guardiola is quite a bit more extreme in terms of passing accuracy and that every player has to deliver an enormous performance level in accuracy and reliability, but ten Haag likes that style as well and it doesn't matter how someone puts it or is even generous with the mistakes De Gea is making, every time when a ball was passed back to De Gea the whole team needed to take a deep breath because it was possible that De Gea is about to screw that game with a huge mistake. I haven't been watching Onana a lot I must confess. Is he a goalkeeper who likes to participate in defensive passing and setting up attacks from the first defense line?
