After today I honestly won't hold it against him if he leaves. This guy should be lifting CL titles and standing behind world class players, not watching them on TV. Doesn't deserve the dross we all got served today. Felt sorry for him.
Maybe He deserves more but I don't feel sorry for him, my future looks gloom compared to his. He's getting paid handsomely, playing for one of the biggest clubs in the world. ;)
 
Bless him for staying this long with the shit that plays out in front of him week in week out.
 
Dave is by far the most important player in our team, whose performances remain at world class level regardless of managers in charge. He is already a legend in my opinion, as he is staying with us during our worst times in the last 25 years. Pay him whatever he wants. Well deserved, hats off.
 
I am convinced Big Dave will leave us one day but I hope he extends for just a few more years at least until he completes ten years. It'll be a shame for him to leave us with his trophy tally so hopefully we can actually win some meaningful titles soon.
 
On the same back page, "Alderweireld could be sold".

Yes please. Bailly and Aldy looks a very nice partnership on paper.
 
Imagine willing your best player to leave.
I'm unhappy with the way things are but we're not in the relegation zone ffs!

De Gea signs new contract and few will be "Sorry Dave, you deserved so much better" as if playing for ManUtd is not good enough.

Not sure if it has been posted.
 
Please sign, Dave.

Though it’s a bit depressing when the most exciting times about supporting United these days are when we sign a player or when a good player extends his contract.

14 - David de Gea has conceded 19 Premier League goals this season, but based on Opta xG data for the shots on target he's faced, the average goalkeeper would have been expected to concede 33 goals. This is the biggest differential by a PL goalkeeper in 2017-18. Exceptional.



Well worth it considering his age and longevity of keepers. He is brilliant, pity Rafa didn’t unearth him!!
 
All hail fax machine. I still wonder if that story is true. This time I doubt Dave's going anywhere.
 
Still feel this is the calm before the storm, just wait till he's away with Spain during the WC and the 'only god knows' quotes come out
 
I hope if De Gea ever gets a statue at Old Trafford that someone cast's an iron fax machine and plants it at the foot of the statue.

That's why we want to get it signed now. If we get this huge contract done, Real will move for someone else. This would be the contract that secures him with us for a long time, we would demand far too much to let him leave.

Would be a great boost to get him signed up before the end of the season, the way we're handling players contracts these days though I'll believe it when I see it
 
What a shame if he stays. Annoyingly brilliant.

So basically the United defence is trash despite Jose spending 70m on CBs and 40m on a defensive midfielder, great.

I really hope DDG signs a new deal!

Only if all of those shots were dangerous. That's statistics for you.

That is not how that stat works.

DDG has obviously faced more than 33 shots this season. The expected value of goals from those shots (which takes into account shot difficulty) is 33. A gap of 14 speaks to DDG's brilliance, but it also speaks to how effective our defense is at not letting opportunities occur (not much apparently).

One can lie with statistics yes, but this isn't one of those cases.
