Let's wait and see. One year is not that long.

But I suspect we will hear of his contract extension before the end of this month.

@Maich, the club is definitely giving him a bumper contract that will hopefully keep him here next season, maybe even the next, but when Madrid comes calling, you always answer - Ozil, Benzema, Modric, Bale etc were all Utd targets...we all know how that story ended.

De Gea is not a target. He is a Man United player. And most importantly he wants to stay.

Which player was Man United ever forced to sell??? And don't talk about CR7. That was a special case. Ronaldo had a heart to heart discussion with SAF and SAF told him if he stays one more season, he will allow him to leave. And SAF made sure he got a world record transfer fee making it worthwhile for both the player and Man United. And this is why among many other reasons, CR7 has such high regard and fondness to SAF.

Hahaha

The script should therefore be pretty simple.....tie the boy to an irresistible long term bumper contract complete with an obscene buy-out clause.

Buy-out clause is a double edged sword because it comes with a hefty end of contract payment.
Keepers earn relatively low wages and very few get GBP100K pw. A good team can thrive with an average keeper. Liverpool won CL with Dudek in goal and Brazil have never had a classy goalie.

When it became clear that the mighty Man U were to miss out on CL league football this season, most pundits (what in Wazua politics section are called hyenas or team Mafisi) predicted that Man U won't attract any world class player. That was comprehensively demystified without much struggle. Don't ever discount the power of money in professional soccer.

De Gea will eventually end up at Real Madrid, it might not necessarily be next season or the one after but it will happen. Man Utd will definitely offer him a bumper contract extension which will probably be signed by De Gea but that will just delay the inevitable and will not stop Real from pursuing him. Right now they need a quality Keeper to succeed Casillas and the Man Utd Keeper is the best candidate.

@Mwenza....CR7's move to Real was not as pleasant as you would like us to believe, Man Utd even filed a tampering complaint with FIFA over Madrid's alleged pursuit, but FIFA declined to take any action....Blatter would later on "describe the situation as modern slavery, comments Ronaldo agreed with".

Btw the decision to stay for one more year was CR7's, its actually Carlos Quieroz who convinced SAF to let him leave. I hope you recall these comments from SAF "Do you think I would enter into a contract with that mob? Absolutely no chance. I would not sell them a virus".

He is at OT, that is it

I'm not sure the Milan clubs retain the same appeal. Kuwa mpole and do your research again.
