De Gea signs new contract at Man Utd until 2023

Sports Desk: Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea has signed a new four-year deal with the club, ending speculation about his future.

De Gea’s moved to Old Trafford in 2011 from Atlético Madrid and firmly made himself one of the team’s key players over the last eight seasons. The Spain international’s new contract will keep him at Manchester United until the summer of 2023, with the option of extending it for a further season.

“It has been a privilege to spend eight years at this great club and the opportunity to continue my career at Manchester United is a genuine honour,” De Gea said. “Since I arrived here, I could never have imagined I would play over 350 games for this club. Now my future is fixed, all I want is to help this team achieve what I believe we can and win trophies again, together.

“As one of the senior players in the squad, I want to support and lead in any way that I can to assist the younger players, so they know what it means to play here. I still feel that I have so much more to achieve at the club and I truly believe that Manchester United can build on the club’s tradition of success and reward our fans for their support. I am committed to continue repaying the fans for all of the care that they’ve shown me during the good times and the bad.”

De Gea has made 367 appearances for United and won numerous trophies including the Premier League, Europa League and FA Cup. In recent seasons he has been linked with a move away from England, with De Gea almost moving to Real Madrid in 2015.
