David de Gea set to leave Manchester United
12 years a red devil: Goalkeeper David de Gea.
Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea appears to be on his way out of the club after 12 years with the Red Devils.
According to reports, De Gea had agreed to stay on at United for a reduced salary, but now the club have revised that offer to pay the gloveman even less.
That move seems to have forced the 32-year-old’s hand as he is now set to leave Manchester as a free agent on Saturday.

While De Gea looks set to leave Old Trafford, West Ham captain Declan Rice continues to grab the headlines.
This after the Hammers got a reported £105-million bid from Arsenal on Wednesday, which Rice apparently wants the club to accept.
Meanwhile, Manchester City have pulled out of the race for Rice, not willing to match the Gunners’ offer and will instead look to sign Celta Vigo midfielder Gabri Veiga.
