Man Utd give David de Gea new ultimatum with replacement lined up for summer transfer

De Gea’s place as United’s No 1 came under question during Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s reign with Dean Henderson pushing to take his spot in the team. But Henderson has once again been loaned out by United and looks set to leave the club on a permanent basis this summer.

Meanwhile, De Gea has re-established himself as one of Europe’s best goalkeepers under Ten Hag. And the Spanish shot-stopper recently praised Ten Hag for the atmosphere he’s created around Carrington.

“I’ve been in very tough moments for this club. Now I’m enjoying it more,” said De Gea. “It’s great. The team spirit is great; the atmosphere is great. Everyone is thinking in the same way, playing in the same way.

“A good manager; good players who bring experience to the team; people who want the ball, who play well with the ball – it’s a mix of everything. Everyone fights until the end. It’s great to watch the team playing and performing well. We’re on a great run.”
