Not exactly shocking, but good nonetheless :P
De Gea contract talk | Signs new deal

What does he want 350k?
It's a sign he's not on the verge of signing a long term deal.
And as he's got 18 months left on his contract, that isn't an issue.
Does his deal run out next summer? If so he could have starting talking to clubs in January so I’m not surprised we’ve actioned this as that could feck up contract talks even further.
No I'm sure it's fine now he's signed that extension.
Yeah wouldn't think he's on the verge of signing a new deal if we have indeed felt the need to do this. Not going to run around panicking yet though.
Thats slightly worrying
He can't leave until he's won the double or treble. It's the law.
The save was outrageous. The YB players were already celebrating.
It was in the contract for a reason. A safety buffer for United if they were in a situation such as the one you are in. It gives you a bit more time to negotiate with De Gea and means that even if other clubs are sniffing around they don't have as much of an upper hand as they would have without this extension.
A respectable football team?
Might be, might not.
Why are people saying this is worrying? We were always going to exercise this option regardless. Why wouldn’t we? I’m pretty sure we have done this before with players who have then gone on to sign new deals.
Cause folk love to worry.
Well. Between Utd and PSG, that is a tough choice.
Ya. It was the most obvious thing that was going to happen. And I don't see why he wouldn't sign a new deal if we exercise the option.
This decision strongly suggests that the relationship between the club and player has gone down and the club feel they might as well play their last card.
That seems an odd interpretation to me. Preserving the player’s value while trying to negotiate a new contract seems eminently sensible.
No it doesn't.
Sure it does, drama queen
No, it’s standard.
We all know DeGea is worth more to the team than any other player. If we can get Sanchez off the books, then Woodward will pay DDG whatever he wants and quite right too. Highest wage bill in the PL if you believe the published figures from across the City but who does?
A years extension won’t stop him leaving if he wants to go but will up the price hopefully. Let’s all hope he stays.

He's a Celtic fan, probably just spouting off rubbish as usual
Better value than Sanchez. Easy swap money wise.
Can't believe we've done this. Why don't we just let him go?
He is too good for us and we don't deserve him.
He should leave to save his career.

Ya, before Jose destroys his career.
Too trandsparent man.
Exactly. I'm a bit embarrassed to have him at United. World's best keeper.
So a win win situation? Club gets a decent deal for him this summer and de gea doesn’t feel guilty for leaving on a free
Supposedly, although 90% of his posts are about Arsenal and Sanchez, I reckon we've got an undercover Gooner
Boom
KERRRRBOOOM
If he is asking for similar wage as Sanchez he is being very reasonable, considering he is our only world class players, & light years ahead of Sanchez's performances. Unfortunately, goalies have always seen to be of a lower value than offensive players, which is strange as we would have probably been mid-table without him last season.
That’s changing now. Look at what Chelsea and Liverpool have spent on keepers in the summer. I think DDG was one of our highest earners when he signed his last contract, and I expect the same to happen this time (as long as he signs). We really do value him, and I’ve no doubt if he moved he would not be on higher wages than we offer him.
No white text?
If we really loved him, we’d let him go. Farewell, sweet prince.
