Former Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera says David de Gea told him he is not worried about his future at the club.

The Red Devils are in the process of negotiating a new contract with their veteran goalkeeper.

De Gea, who was close friends with Herrera when the latter was a United player, may have confided in his ex-teammate about his future.

Speaking to Manchester United's Scandinavian Supporters' Club, Herrera was stated. “I think [De Gea will stay].

“I didn't ask him if he's going to sign a new contract, but I guess he's going to do it. He cannot finish his time at Manchester United, even more so when he's at a good age for a goalkeeper, when he has given the team victories in some moments of this season.

“So I have a lot of confidence in David. I speak with him almost every week, every month, and he's not worried. He has so much confidence in himself and he's going – I hope he's going – to sign a new contract."
