New Man Utd deal for De Gea will be incentive-based

Manchester United intend to hand David de Gea a new performance-based deal.

The Sun says De Gea is due to sign a new £250,000-a-week contract.

United plan to pay him a lower guaranteed wage but throw in extras if he plays enough.

Keeper De Gea would have to start about half of the 60 or so games the Red Devils play at home and abroad next season to hit the maximum salary.

Old Trafford chiefs are looking at giving the Spaniard two more years at the top level after he produced displays close to his best under boss Erik ten Hag.

But they want to avoid him becoming a highly-paid reserve.

De Gea has been superb for the Red Devils this season.
