De Gea has told United chiefs that he is prepared to commit the peak years of his career to the club – but only if the price is right. ​And that means giving him a pay-rise that will put him behind only £400,000-a-week Alexis Sanchez in the Old Trafford pay stakes. United are reluctant to meet De Gea’s demands but remain confident that a compromise will be struck. But there would be no shortage of big clubs in for De Gea should be become available.
