Roma coach Mourinho spies Bosman reunion with Man Utd keeper De Gea

Manchester United could lose David de Gea on a free this summer.

The Spanish shot stopper, who has been at United for a decade, could move on when the season concludes and his contract expires.

Spanish media sources state Roma boss Jose Mourinho is plotting a reunion with De Gea.

The 32-year-old has rejected United's first offer of a new deal, as it involves a substantial wage reduction.

De Gea is presently the highest paid goalkeeper in the world by a significant margin.

On his contract, De Gea told Sky Sports this week: "I've been here many many years, enjoying every moment in this club playing many games. Of course it's great to be here, it's a massive club and I love the club and I'm really happy here of course.

"It's been the same over the years, there's a lot of noise around the club but players just focus on games, especially the one we have one Sunday - a massive game for us because we want to finish in the top four.

"Like I say, we have many many games so I think we have to be really really caring on training, recovering well, helping the team and that's the most important thing, more than contracts or anything."
