He did, but he was brought in for de Gea particularly. Silvino Louro was Mourinho’s own GK coach who left with him.

Of course you don't.
DDG was here since 2011. Just like Rooney, United all time goalscorer but never in top 20 GOAT striker.
Giving him a bumper contract at this point would be pure negligence.
Fully expect us to make him the world’s best paid keeper, while the quality of his performances continue to diminish.

I just refuse to believe a goalie this good is past it when he's supposed to be entering his prime. We've seen excellence galore from the man, it will return.
I'm not trying to convince you otherwise, but the level of competition between the keepers and the forwards is vastly different.
Its been 18 months actually.
He is already the best paid keeper.
Has it? Damn. Get your gloves Serg.
A huge contract for DDG at this stage is totally unwarranted because the team in front of him will continue to let him down and affect his confidence. When we can score more than the opposition like we used to then the opposite effect comes into play. No big contracts for anyone until we sort the chaff from the wheat. Bring Henderson back from Sheffield and let DDG go. The way we're playing currently dictates we should.
I'll show you plenty. They aren't top keepers though. BTW, even the best in the world makes mistakes. Van Der Sar made many dumb mistakes but De Gea has consistently been making mistakes for a year. It's to the point where I feel it will happen again with the next few weeks.
He already cost us 4th place last season. He's not a top keeper anymore purely because of his reliability. Making 14 jaw dropping saves in a game doesn't make you a top keeper, it's consistency.
This ain't the first time it has happened. Joe Hart when downhill fast and never recovered. Okay, Hart was never close to De Geas level but point stands. Same with Barthez.
Mistake , huge mistake to give him a contract now. Hope we wait couple of more months.
Not even Spain’s number one anymore, offer him half of what he is on now
He’s made about 8 mistakes in the past 6 months and yet people are defending him. It’s basically another Rooney situation.
Not all goalies tend to be Buffon and VDS. They did well to remain consistent in their latter years.
I don’t see it with Dave. For me his game is regressing. Not really great on the ball. Not great at being a sweeper keeper and commanding his own box. He was basically a great shot stopper and now that’s deserting him. We should have sold him in the summer.

Van Der Sar started out his career great and then went a bit downhill to say the least. But he recovered with us late in his career. De Gea might find his mojo back in a few years or even later, but for now and at United? I dont see it, seems like he needs a change of scenery and maybe some years of going through a bad spell before coming back in great form. He is still young, so you never know, but i would be surprised if we see him in great form again in the coming years. His issue is he relies on reflexes a lot, and with age, they regress rather than improve. His overall game isnt great, so will he improve on that? Doubtful
The only rational option left is to burn him at the stake.
Funny thing is I think he saved a more difficult shot at 1-0, the zaha one.
De Gea should be taken out of the firing line until he sorts his contract situation out one way or the other. A break may also do him good so he can clear his head.
So would letting him leave for free.
I pray we don't give him that contract.
I appreciate for what he did, but football is about the now.
At the moment, he's nowhere near good enough to demand that sort of contract.

Hope not. He’s shite.
We wont get rid of him with his high wages if he signs. We should have quite clearly sold him the last summer for 30-50m and moved on, which i said plenty of times. Would have been a terrific deal. He will be another Alexis in a year or two
He is Utd version of Karius
Six year deal would be ridiculous, he has been great for us and that is why we have been paying him a huge amount currently but I think the thing is we can kiss Hendo good bye if we go that long term with De gea; Get him on a 3yr deal and if his form drops off then listen to offers.
I was a big fan and he saved us so many times in the past but I can't understand why he wasn't sold and how he still playing despite his shite form and not committing to the club. Don't make the Alexis error again, please! Stop be so sentimental and overpay players!
3 year deal, 200k a week. Take it or leave for free. Henderson isnt worse than him in his current state and will improve further for sure like he has done in the past few years, while Dave nobody knows.
He needs to be dropped , sorry but he has to Romero has to come in even if it's just to get his head back in the game? I'd play him next game he makes a cock up in that one out you go!
Had the whole summer off.
Two years ago he could have written his own ticket, but I fear he is in decline. Now I'd be telling him to like or or lump it. If he doesn't want to renew on what is on the table then cheers and don't let the door hit your arse on the way out.
Some of the goals he's let in can't be just down to a decline either at 28 IMO. If we take a step back and think with a clear mind for a second and analyse his errors, it seems to me like he's not focused or concentrated with some of the attempts that are going past him where you don't even have to be excellent in a reflex sense. Maybe he needs a fresh challenge elsewhere to motivate himself? He obviously wanted to join Madrid which didn't come to fruition, which must've been a personal dissapointment for him.
It seems to me his concentration levels and motivation are a bigger issue. His form for Spain and losing the #1 spot to Kepa must've dented his confidence too.
@SS I know this post had no correlation to what you said mate. But thought I'll go ahead with the post regardless..
If it's either or, no, it wouldn't.
Locking in a six year cost when it's becoming clear that we need to upgrade is clearly the worse option.

Should really have sold him this summer.
Should never have let it get to this. How we let our key players get this close to the end is ridiculous. It's not like he was a good player we could maybe replace, he was our best player for years and of all the players, deserved his demands to be met
I am not too bothered about it. DDG rely a lot on his reflexes and they will only get worse the older he gets. I think we have a great goalkeeper in Henderson and I would love if he got his chance next year.
He's been incredible for us. But we should have sold him this summer to avoid this situation. I'd imagine someone would have been willing to pay 50 million for him.
I think it’s time for a change. Has been very poor for the last 12 months, not ideal from a financial perspective but there’s an argument to say he should be dropped anyway.
Surprised Juve want him as they're after the Champions League and Dave really exposed himself on the European stage. They go love a good freebie though.
Let's put his form aside for a second, are you sure he demanded anything? Maybe he always intended to leave.
"According to The Express, Sun and Daily Mirror". Cool.
