Manchester United to offer David de Gea new deal after uplift in form

Manchester United are reportedly set to give David de Gea a new deal just six months after his Old Trafford career looked over. 

The Spain international has been a standout performer for the Red Devils who are enduring yet another dismal campaign.

De Gea recently picked up January's Premier League Player of the Month award, and The Sun claim United chiefs are planning to trigger a 12-month clause to extend their No.1 goalkeeper's contact until June 2024.

The club also realise they need to bend on their standard policy of offering players shorter deals on lower wages when they hit their 30s.

De Gea will likely earn in the region of £375,000 a week which he is currently picking up and will have the security of a longer-term contract.

The 31-year-old, meanwhile, has blasted his United team-mates as they drew 1-1 with Southampton on Saturday at Old Trafford. 

'The situation needs to improve and fast. We have to learn that this is not enough.', De Gea wrote on Twitter.

Handing the Spaniard a new deal could spell the end to Dean Henderson who could  depart the club in the summer.

Henderson, 24, is contracted to the Red Devils until 2025, but is keen to leave on a permanent basis in search of regular football.

His request was blocked by interim manager Ralph Rangnick in January,
