United To Give De Gea New Contract

Manchester United and David De Gea have put their summer window transfer behind them as both parties have opened contract talks.

The Spaniard, who has not featured for the Red Devils this season due to the heavy interest from Real Madrid has a deal that expires in 2016 and United had previously indicated they had abandoned hope of the 24-year-old signing an extension.

But, since DE Gea's move to the Bernabau collapsed on transfer deadline day, negotiations have begun, with De Gea's agent Jorge Mendes attending the club's training complex on Thursday.

Manager Louis van Gaal dumped the former Atletico Madrid man until the end of the transfer window, such was the uncertainty surrounding his future.

De Gea, United's player of the season for the past two years, was upset at Van Gaal's claim he did not want to play in the opening games of the season, although club sources have since indicated any damage to the pair's relationship will be easily repaired.

It is still not known whether De Gea will start Saturday's Premier League game against Liverpool on Saturday (17:30 BST). BBC
