He’s been doing it for seasons, so doesn’t really explain what’s wrong with him now does it.

Yes.

Do you not know how pressure and stress actually works on the human brain?

Google is your friend.
 
He should have taken whatever we offered him a couple months back
 
Starting to suspect his demand in extra wages is the problem. He's inadvertently put more pressure on himself to perform and it looks to be affecting his mentality, perhaps building up as he makes mistakes. It's seemingly quite similar to what happens to him when he plays for Spain because this isn't the De Gea we know.
 
No new contract, he's a joke. Don't care how good he's been for us, that was in the past. Apparently he's had a face like a slapped ass at the training ground.
 
Good luck getting a club other than PSG to even match existing contract. To demand more money while playing like this is an insult to every person that buys a ticket.

Off the top of my head in recent weeks, West Ham, Barcelona, Everton, City, chelsea. Big errors too, while not being a modern keeper in the sense of playing from back, to expect more from us is disgraceful really

That mistake could cost CL football

Exactly.

We need to be ruthless.

De Gea is a busted flush.

Get rid.
 
So his performances in the past 10 games hasn’t been terrible? How is my statement embarrassing? We’ve never had a keeper who has had 10+ shocking games in a row.

You’re deluded.

Get a grip mate. He has enough goodwill in the bank, and has been our player of the season for a few years in a row. Neville was right in his commentary, just needs to get to summer and a rest.

Shocking errors recently, let's hope they don't cost us top four. But he's still a top keeper

Get rid. He's been awful for longer than just this season. There is no loyalty in football. He would've fecked off sooner if the fax machine would have worked. I'm sure the 250k a week contract he got after helped him get over it.
 
Does he really deserve a 350k/week contract after this season? If we have already offered one, he should grab it with both hands.

I’m sorry but I have noticed United usually got the bad luck of having players dropping form after a contract extension. In this case we got lucky that De Gea has shown himself to be way past it BEFORE a contract extension. If we give him a new contract now, we would got ourselves a new Rooney situation here: Players getting way too much when they are clearly past their peak.

If Ole wants to rebuild Manchester United, he needs to get ruthless. If not, Woodward would be the one “getting ruthless” with him. We are not a retirement home for old players, you know. :(

He deserves it for seasons before.

He should be dropped until his contract/transfer situation is resolved.
 
If this club has learnt anything, you don’t reward this kind of form with a pay rise.
 
Amazing how flippant some fans are. The guy has single-handedly saved us more times than I care to remember. He is in terrible form and I wouldn't argue with Ole dropping him, but the revisionism from some in here saying he's never been that good is mind boggling.
 
Keep seeing this sentimental nonsense about how a player has saved us before, reality is this if they aren't performing in the recent history then there's no point in sticking with.

He's had a woeful 18 months or so roughly for club and country. He let in some absolute howlers for Spain in the run up to the World Cup, there was the clanger against Ronaldo in the opener and this season has been absolutely shocking! Two clean sheets at home all season and he is directly responsible for so many dropped points throughout the season.
 
We've offer him 300k and he has turned it down right?

At this rate, If he leaves for free, I doubt another club would willing to offer him 200k.
 
Some talk about the club giving him a week to decide whether he wants to sign a £350k p/w contract or leave this summer.

£350k p/w contract? So we gave in to his demand? A goalkeeper costing us a Champions League spot is gonna get his demand met by the club? This is exactly why I have lost trust in our upper management...
 
Haven't read everything. $400K was it? Nope - i wouldn't. I think if we play hard ball he will cave. Either that or he really wants to go, then of course we sell. But there are alot of people asking for him to be sold on his performances and not because of his contract

Just beware of his contract situation. If he doesn't renew his contract THIS SUMMER, he will be free to go like Herrera next summer. Definitely not 400K. Sign on the dotted line or put him in the market.
 
Sell him. Its dragging now. The club is already in turmoil and the last thing you need is someone pressurising the club whilst being in the worst form of his life.

As good as De Gea is and has been, United rewarding poor form players with big meaty contracts has never benefited them.

Its better to rebuild now and get rid of someone who clearly doesn't have his heart in it, than wait on him all summer and then be tied to a crazy deal which will annoy everyone else in the squad further.
 
If he really wants to leave sure sell him but we shouldn’t just sell him for the sake of it, we need to spend in other areas.

I think a guy that tried to leave on 3 different occasions, really wants to go. Just sell him now. What good is a world class keeper who does not want to be here.
