Interesting stat that he's actually conceded a goal a game at United (333 in 333). Proves how dog turd we've been for the majority of his time here.
I think all you have to do to prove how bad we have largely been is just watch us play for the last 5 years.
I don't think we need that stat to know that
I heard De Gea wanted 350k/week. What a joke... Freaking give him a blank cheque, Woodward!
No if We really love him, We'll appoint Zidane and sign Mbappe, Verratti, Lewandowski, Neymar and Varane.
Or we'd nor chase ungettable big names and go for players on the up who we can sign and who will fit into our system perfectly. The chances of us signing players of that ilk is very low. It'll take us 2-3 years of top class management for players at CL winners/contenders to want to play for us barring the odd anomaly.
Mata has been living in Manchester for ages as far as I know. He relocated years ago, no idea why They used a past event as an indicator of the current situation.
I know you’re taking the piss but Im sure we all agree , we’re shit and I don’t think anyone would begrudge him leaving but thank god we’ve got him for a bit longer.
Idk, for some reason club exercising 1 year extension somehow doesn't give me that much confidence at all. Don't get me wrong it makes complete sense to do so because now he can't negotiate with other clubs in January and God forbid, new deal isn't reached, we can at least demand some money for him. But the fact we had to do it, doesn't really fill me with confidence.
I do hope I'm wrong and that I'm over-thinking it.

the club has done cause its an option. Negotiations are in progress so the club optioned for it to make it safe. It doesn't mean he won't sign a deal, wouldn't read too much into it.
Jesus. The fuss the club is making on social media about executing a clause in his frigging contract is excruciating. I know we’re starved of good news these days but ffs...
I'm not really surprised to see us milking such news, nor do I blame them, there's nothing but a depressed and grim feeling about the club, has been all season.
Tough times dude, tough times…
It's normal procedure and absolutely nothing to think about. The club activated Shaw's clause too before he signed a long term deal.
Not that it might matter much, but de Gea just liked an IG post where United quoted Mourinho about how he expected de Gea to sign a new deal.
To be honest the press have been going with the line that DDG is free to leave end of this season.
Have they though? I haven't seen any official announcement about triggering the clause - the club usually don't confirm those themselves.
But what if I absolutely want to think about it?
Knock yourself out
Why thank you very much!Knock yourself out
Aye, I’ve seen those but neither are saying anything about triggering a clause. The Mourinho quote is from his presser as well.
Sure. I just find the two tweets, one after another, a bit cringe. I’ll admit this may be because almost everything about the club irritates me these days!
Perfectly understandableDave has liked the post quoting Mourinho saying "he wants to stay" on Instagram, 10 year contract incoming
Don't mind him being the top earner (bar Sanchez) in the side. He's the only one who has actually earned that size of contract over the last few years.
He is going to sign soon. The wibes feel good
World class player deserves world class wages, unfortunately the club is average.
Oh Dave 
A list of clubs who are worse than United for getting their best players on lengthy contracts so they don't leave on a free ...
ok, fair do's there's Arsenal
Genuinely can't remember who have we lost like that. Which of our best players have left because we can't tie them down?
He wants to stay, but he needs Mourinho to piss off.
None. Maybe Pogba, but he was a youth player then.
It's still quite telling IMO. He's been the best in the world for a few years and I was amazed to see he concedes a goal a game. Imagine if we didn't have him? We'd have undoubtedly conceded 400+ goals in those same gamesI don't think we need that stat to know that
In that case, we really are the worst.
The fact that we are treating DDG like this is more than enough.
This doesn't make sense. Rather make him, a player that's been performing on the highest level for us for years and probably is the best in the world in his position, our best paid player than someone like freaking Sanchez who did feck all so far.
When you put it like that, I suppose that's true. He's earned it.

I know Castles is meant to be semi-reliable but that has to be bollocks, surely? He wants to stay but we want to cash in on him? What?
Just pay him what he wants.
