He is already one of the highest paid goalkeepers in the world, he is paid more than Alisson who just signed for Liverpool "who is better than him". So paying him what he deserve is less than what Alisson getting (less than 190k a week).
Yeah it doesn't work like that. Different clubs have different wage structures and while United tried to keep theirs relatively sane for years, the Sanchez deal messed all of that up. £190k a week is not "the most important player in the team" wages for a Manchester United player anymore. Considering how utterly crucial Dave has been for United for most of his career he's right to ask for top wages. I also don't buy the ludicrous story that Dave's suddenly turned shit overnight. He only started chucking them into his own net towards the tail end of last season, and that kind of physical decline doesn't happen overnight, especially not for keepers. It's not physical, it's mental. The contract negotiations, and probably the overall uncertain situation at United, are getting in his head.
I have all the sympathy in the world for Dave. He's still in his prime and could be winning titles with any number of teams, but he's at Manchester United who are currently HOPING to maybe compete for a top 4 finish if the stars align. Managers are coming and going in a revolving door, and most of the squad is not exactly world class. Sign a big contract and tie the rest of his prime years to the club in the hopes that they'll somehow turn things around and get back to the top, or go elsewhere and try to win while you're still good for it?
The most overrated player to play for us this millennium.
The amount of goals he costs us is mammoth and never notices.
That's mental. Either you've started watching football in the past year, or you have a very poor memory. The amount of points Dave's single-handedly won United over the years is far, far, FAR greater than the amount of points he's cost us.
Edit:

Yeah he's well shit innit? Seriously it's shameful the way some United supporters behave these days. A player has a bad game and he's getting ripped to shreds. A player hits a bad patch of form and he's a shit has been who should be shipped to Australia.
