Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel has dropped a hint that David de Gea has agreed a new deal.

For the moment, De Gea is yet to pen new terms, despite months of negotiations.

However, Schmeichel, who has close ties with the club, told the Mirror: “David was a great signal that we start off with arguably our best performer over the last five years.

“We have tied him down, he is staying and now we move on and build on that.

“We had a few guys who have been instrumental like Antonio Valencia and Ander Herrera who have left with their contracts running out.

“They have had to be replaced by Manchester United youth which is a very position thing."
