David De Gea has been left off Manchester United’s official retained list with talks over a new contract still ongoing. United have sent their to the Premier League and De Gea was the notable absentee.
“In terms of the goalkeeping department, discussions remain open with David De Gea over a potential new contract, while Tom Heaton and Nathan Bishop have had extensions triggered on their deals,” United wrote in their announcement.
De Gea has agreed a new contract with the Red Devils but it is still to be signed off by the club’s hierarchy.
The proposed new deal would reduce his current £375,000-a-week salary and it remains to be seen if united will still look to bring in a new No 1 if he does stay.
The 32-year-old Spanish goalkeeper has been at United since 2011, but he will be a free agent on June 30.
He is coming off the back of a season where he won the Golden Glove for the most Premier League clean sheets but his campaign was marred by more costly individual errors.
Speaking last month manager Erik ten Hag said: “I think we want him to stay and he wants to stay, so I think we will find each other. “I never give a comment about how negotiations are going.”
