The longer this goes on the less confident I get about him sticking around at Old Trafford.
Sort it out Woody!

No it isn't, why do people keep saying this?
Sell him to prove a point? That's just baseless speculation. Even the supposed Rooney-Van Gaal fallout was more believable.
I don't agree with it, but isn't it something to do with him opposing the bid for Maneul Neuer at Bayern Munich, because he thought Kraft (or was it Butt?) was better? I don't know how true any of that is, but I've certainly read about it around the time Bayern sacked him.
Rivaldo was dropped and sold due to his commitment.
Do you really think De Gea has a big ego like Rivaldo?

There's a massive difference between not wanting to sign a certain player because you already rate the options you have available, and going into a club and actively looking to sell (arguably) your best player, just to weaken the team and then try and achieve success without said player. Just to prove some sort of weird point that no one would even care about anyway.
Infact, its complete and utter nonsense, and anyone who actually believes it should probably (with respect) be sectioned.
theres absolutely no way we would sell him for that. if behind closed doors he said he wants to go and nothing we do will change his mind, im sure he would repay the faith we put in him by signing a new deal to make sure madrid dont get a bargain. i would prefer to hand on to him for a year as a backup goalkeeper and him leaving on a free, than for us to sell him to madrid for 20m pounds.
There is no chance of United allowing De Gea to waltz out the door unimpeded. If he leaves this summer as many suspect, it will be because the club, and Van Gaal, did absolutely everything possible to persuade him to stay, and miserably failed. Real Madrid are understandably a huge lure.
Voting results updated in the OP.
Don't forget get, you can change your vote as the situation develops.
Since the story early this week, no further developments.

Don't worry guys, as long as Real Madrid get a transfer ban for having non-European youngsters in their youth teams we can keep him. Believe!
Im afraid LVG could sell him to prove a point.
It's not going to go away is it?
Skip past the first few paragraphs and there's some valid points in this Graham Hunter post from last month.
It's an easy story... and as long as De Gea doesn't sign, it's a feasible one. Plus it's United, so it sells papers/generates clicks. Expect it to continue...
Changed to no :S
Van Gaal will sell De Gea to prove a point?
Now I've heard it all.
Now I've heard it all.
Not the first time I've heard it either, possibly from same poster.
If LvG sells De Gea to prove a point then that is just stupid. I don't see it happening at all.
I really can't see De Gea going to Real. I genuinely don't think he'd do that to Atletico.
If we fail to get 4th or 3rd then he'll definitely be off IMO. Why would he stay ?
Why won't he? There's no indication that he's agitating for a move.
Because we can pay him more than anyone else.
Because we invested heavily in him in both money, coaching and faith and he seems like a loyal lad that wouldn't jump ship because we miss the Champions League for a couple of years.
Because he's settled in the area and his family have adjusted to life here.
Because he is settled in the club learning from someone regarded as the best goalkeeping coach in the business.
Because he's playing football with his close friends Mata and Herrera every day.
If he has ambition and wants to win trophies and if there is a good opportunity (combo of good salary and a competitive club) to leave, he might just do so.
Sorry I didn't mean that he was unhappy or anything like that, just that he is hungry for trophy (or more money) and there is a good club interested in him, why stay another year at Utd without CL football in possibly another unstable year.
DDG is an extremely strong position to negotiate a new contract. He's been easily our most important player. If he doesn't sign in the next months, he's gone. We can't afford to let him go on free.
I am worried about that. Hopefully we get CL football and he stays with us for many more years.
I would rather see the back of LvG than see DDG sold to "make some point".
This thing about LvG selling De Gea to make a point is a figment of some poster's vivid imagination.
It's made up, just leave it now...
It's made up, just leave it now...
From what I remember, Rivaldo was benched by LvG. DDG is the first name on our teamsheet.
Actually this is exactly what we can afford to do.
He'll sign a new contract and he'll stay here for many years, Graham Hunter's article is spot on, there's a feeling that things are getting back to normal at United [though its not smooth sailing yet] and once he is convinced that we're moving in the right direction, he'll put pen to paper and be here for as long as we want. United with their level should be able to hold on to their important players...If for nothing else, Woodward will keep him here to prove that point, the egoistic fecker.
Well, we don't need to retain him for financial reasons. We can "afford" to make him see out his contract and buy another top keeper, and not be fazed financially (I think this was his point)
Yeah if the point he's trying to prove is that he's an idiot.
Or that hes the top dog not some Spanish kid playing for him.
Who thinks that?I dont think speculations will stop even if signs a contract. How often have we seen players sign new contracts and feck off six months later.
And what point would that be?
