MANCHESTER UNITED star David de Gea will have to accept a significant pay cut if he wishes to stay at Old Trafford, reports suggest.
De Gea’s £375,000–a-week contract runs out in June and United are keen to exercise their option of extending their goalkeeper’s stay by another year.
According to the Daily Star, however, the board are not willing to keep the Spaniard with his present salary, which makes him the Red Devils’ second highest earner behind Cristiano Ronaldo.
The 32-year-old will thus have to agree to slash his astronomical wages by at least £100,000 per week.
That would save United an annual fee of around £5million heading to next season.
