Manchester United are pushing to close a deal quickly with David de Gea over an improved contract.

The Daily Mail says it is understood that United are now confident of agreeing a lucrative new deal with the 24-year-old very soon.

United and De Gea's agent Jorge Mendes want to conclude a deal quickly and sources at the club have now confirmed that the matter is moving rapidly in the right direction.

De Gea is now recognised as one of the best goalkeepers in the game and only has 18 months left on his contract at United.
