De Gea of course
De Ge has a contract until June 2023. He can't just "go".I think he'll move back to Spain. He has a family now and that comes first. Good luck to him. He's been a great servant.
Can push for a move though. Especially if he thinks Henderson will takeover as number 1. World Cup coming up so imagine he’d want to be playing wherever he is (same with Henderson, so one has to leave, even if it’s just Henderson on loan again somewhere).Hendos seemingly superior command of set pieces play is making it more and more tempting to opt for him as the new starter, but De Gea is hard to drop when he's not making mistakes.

Really? He's been good at claiming crosses in open play but to my mind he has looked vulnerable on set-pieces. Most recently in the Leicester game, where he put himself in no man's land for their third goal. His stats on corners have been far from special too, even last season.Hendos seemingly superior command of set pieces play is making it more and more tempting to opt for him as the new starter, but De Gea is hard to drop when he's not making mistakes.

If we sign him, do we have to get his brother too? That’s what happened at Milan right? (Or is that just a random rumour I read once and took as gospel?)How about we sell both DDG and Henderson and get Donnaruma who is out of contract in the summer?
He’s also the highest paid ‘keeper in the world (and possibly the highest paid player in the league). Unless we let De Gea go on a free — which would be silly — Henderson is far more likely to leave of the two, honestly.Hendos seemingly superior command of set pieces play is making it more and more tempting to opt for him as the new starter, but De Gea is hard to drop when he's not making mistakes.

Right so you mean the Carling Cup and EL dross he played in . FairI genuinely believe that none should be the future long term United gk.
Also, IMO Romero (based on the 2019-2020 form) is better overall option than Henderson.
When has that ever actually stopped anyone else. If a player wants to go they usually go.Hendos seemingly superior command of set pieces play is making it more and more tempting to opt for him as the new starter, but De Gea is hard to drop when he's not making mistakes.

Henderson is increasingly looking like a Pickford clone to me.Really? He's been good at claiming crosses in open play but to my mind he has looked vulnerable on set-pieces.

I definitely wouldn't point to set-pieces as the area he's obviously improved us.
De Gea will walk away from £375,000 pr week for 2 years because he's a daddy? That is some next level romantic optimism.When has that ever actually stopped anyone else. If a player wants to go they usually go.
If Romero was so good why is he only generating interest from Argentina and not Europe?I genuinely believe that none should be the future long term United gk.

Let's wait and see what happens in the summer but in my opinion we'll be making a HUGE HUGE mistake keeping De Gea over Henderson. It'll be just as bad as Jose letting go of KDB/Salah while we have an over the hill GK on high wages costing us more goals week in week outHe’s also the highest paid ‘keeper in the world (and possibly the highest paid player in the league).

You do know sometimes in life something's are more important than money don't you?De Gea will walk away from £375,000 pr week for 2 years because he's a daddy? That is some next level romantic optimism.
On that note: A contract goes both ways. If David says "Im going", unless the club can get: A) Value back B) De Gea opts to cancel his own contract with a valid reason. - "I want to go" is not valid, its just a desire. There is nothing about this that is realistic.
You're right.If we sign him, do we have to get his brother too? That’s what happened at Milan right? (Or is that just a random rumour I read once and took as gospel?)
I don’t know if it’ll be ‘keeping De Gea over Henderson’ more than it would be failing to get De Gea out due to his massive wage and Henderson’s willingness to leave if he isn’t first choice and plenty of options for him to go elsewhere.Let's wait and see what happens in the summer but in my opinion we'll be making a HUGE HUGE mistake keeping De Gea over Henderson.

Having a child is one of the times where the money is even more important, tbf.You do know sometimes in life something's are more important than money don't you?
Yes, but that is something you say when you're giving up a weekends worth of overtime to spend time with your family, not when you're earning £375,000 a week.You do know sometimes in life something's are more important than money don't you?
Whatever way we try and twist things it'll paint a VERY bad picture on us for a long long time if an academy player leaves and thrives elsewhere while we persist with a 30+yr old GK on 375k a week who's declining more and more with each passing year.I don’t know if it’ll be ‘keeping De Gea over Henderson’ more than it would be failing to get De Gea out due to his massive wage and Henderson’s willingness to leave if he isn’t first choice and plenty of options for him to go elsewhere.
Everton wanted him a few months ago, Man United blocked the move. There's plenty of clubs in Europe who would want Romero.If Romero was so good why is he only generating interest from Argentina and not Europe?
If we put Henderson on the market he'd attract a lot of good teams within Europe
It's this sort of over romanticising things I hate, it's Liverpool of 90s thinking. He's on the decline, but because he's been here for ages and was great once its ok? Bloody baffling.Is it just me that would love to see de gea stay here for as long as possible? Seeing him transform from that 21 year old arrogant, nervous, homesick spanish guy into a quasi manc god / goalkeeper has been the last remnant of fergies legacy.
He makes mistakes like every gk but he's spent more time in manchester than most of our fans and was also our best player for a number of seasons.
Have a bit of respect for a club legend.
Academy players come and go all the time. DDG is being paid obscene wages but henderson isn't paid peanuts either.Whatever way we try and twist things it'll paint a VERY bad picture on us for a long long time if an academy player leaves and thrives elsewhere while we persist with a 30+yr old GK on 375k a week who's declining more and more with each passing year.
On the decline? I guess henderson is on the decline as well for that milan blunder?It's this sort of over romanticising things I hate, it's Liverpool of 90s thinking. He's on the decline, but because he's been here for ages and was great once its ok? Bloody baffling.
Why would a blunder by Henderson mean he's on the decline? Nonsensical comparison. Henderson much like a young De Gea, is far from perfect.On the decline? I guess henderson is on the decline as well for that milan blunder?
De gea has been with us for a decade and is arguably the best keeper in the world on his day and for alot of people is much more reliable than henderson.
Modern football fans are fascinating. Lets just buy neymar and mbappe and win the world cup.
It is still early days. Henderson has looked good and I love that but I don't really get the logic behind writing de gea off.Why would a blunder by Henderson mean he's on the decline? Nonsensical comparison. Henderson much like a young De Gea, is far from perfect.
I think the people arguing that "on his day" he's the best keeper in the world would be a much smaller group than it used to be, because his performances don't justify that tag anymore. You seem to be living in the past when it comes to what he offers us now. He can make great saves, brilliant ones, but the overall package leaves a lot to be desired in 2021, because guess what the here and now matters more than his form of years ago, those days look to be gone.
Yes he's been with us ages, and at one point was the very best, but that doesn't really matter, or it shouldn't. But some fans use form of years ago to justify him keeping his position now, would that fly for a striker who used to score loads and doesn't anymore?
Don't really get the weird "modern football fans" comment, just seems like you're annoyed not everyone shares your opinion.
