The Spaniard agreed to a wage reduction from his current \u00a3375,000 per week wages, which seemed to insinuate De Gea would extend his Old Trafford stay. However, United performed a U-turn and backed out of the agreed proposal, and did not sign the contract. The Spanish international goalkeeper has now been offered new terms, with a lower salary than the originally agreed offer. His current deal is set to expire on June 30, which would make the Red Devils goalkeeper a free agent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Read More<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">:\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/06\/26\/manchester-united-moises-caicedo-hijack-dream\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Manchester United Now Looking to Sign Chelsea Target Who Dreams of the Red Devils<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The latest offer to De Gea has not been accepted by the Spaniard, who wants to continue playing at the highest level possible.
