De Gea makes clear he wants Man Utd stay - but on his terms

David de Gea has made it clear he wants to stay with Manchester United - so long as they meet his contract demands.

The Daily Mail says the goalkeeper is keen to thrash out fresh terms at Old Trafford and end any lingering uncertainty after another man-of-the-match display in the 1-0 win at Tottenham.

De Gea will command a significant improvement on his current £200,000-a-week contract and would expect his wages to top £300,000 including bonuses.

Discussions between the 28-year-old's representatives and United have been ongoing for some time but without resolution.

United activated a 12-month extension in November, locking the Spaniard in until 2020 and preventing him talking to interested clubs this month ahead of a potential free transfer.
