Former Manchester United goalkeeper coach Eric Steele has urged management to deal in David de Gea.

De Gea is locked in talks with United over a new deal.

"He's still in his prime," Steele told the Daily Mail.

"He's still young as a goalkeeper but look at the experience. He's not going to be far off 550 games by the end of the season, and that's at 32 years of age.

"I wouldn't want him to be lost to Manchester United and the Premier League. Hopefully they will get this deal sorted and he stays part of the Ten Hag era.

"It's down to David and the club. I think it's about time it was sorted.

"We keep hearing it's going to be resolved but we're in May now. His contract runs out at the end of June.

"It would be nice to have an announcement to say which way it's going. All I can say is that I would be very saddened to lose David after the 12 years he's given."
