De Gea leaning towards Man Utd stay after offer improved

David de Gea is leaning towards signing a new deal with Manchester United, it has been revealed.

The Sun says United are confident of getting him to sign a new five-year deal.

An offer of around £300,000 a week has been on the table since the turn of the year.

But United are ready to increase that to £350,000 a week to tempt the Spanish keeper to stay put.

That will be a huge increase on his current £200,000-a-week package — but still short of the staggering £505,000 a week that United flop Alexis Sanchez earns.

The offer will be for a four-year contract — with an option on the club's side to trigger a further year.
