Until he is officially gone then I am not thinking about anyone apart from De Gea
[Poll] Who do you think will be United's #1 next season?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
De Gea.
I'm starting to think Real are just going to wait another year and take him for free. If they desperately wanted and needed him right now, they'd just pay what they needed to. They're not the type to mess around over price and I'm sure De Gea has told them that he wants to join.

Valdes 
I'm starting to think we might as well keep De Gea for another season, you never know Casillas might become world class again and..................
I refuse to believe the De Gea is leaving. He WILL sign a new contract with us.
Valdes looking more of a possibility now
London is the ONLY advantage you lot have over us. ONLY!
Our GK has his head turned because Real Madrid have come calling and he is a Madrid lad. You lot lost your foreign captain to us just 3 seasons back, despite us being in Manchester even then. Wonder why that happened?
London is a hole, populated by people who think the world ends at the m25, talking of which there needs to be a 10000 ft wall built around the m25 with no gates in it.
Sure it is, mate.
The only advantage you have over us right now is money. I have no doubt United will be back in the mix sooner rather than later (too much money from commercial deals not to be!) but we are currently the better team.
You think if Manchester United were based in London then De Gea wouldn't be leaving this summer? I think not.
Fair point. The pulling power of Madrid is higher than any team in the Prem, unfortunately. Maybe his girlfriend's refusal to live in Manchester alerted Madrid that he might be available but, in the current situation, it doesn't matter what team he'd play for in our league; he'd probably leave.
Anyway, I didn't sign up here to insult United; rather to have discussions with your fans so don't want to go any further in this thread.
We haven't made any statement so at the moment it still looks like DDG. Once Real make a bid, we will know our intentions - if they really are going to make derisory bids then I doubt we will sell.
Valdes and Lloris are the alternatives, depending on how highly LvG rates Valdes.

You are CURRENTLY the more stable team and hence have performed marginally bettwr than us. But if you can see that we will be up there soon again, I am sure players can too. Cech will chose you in all probability but it will be because of his unwillingness to uproot his young family from a city he alreqdt lives in.
I disagree, but we'll leave it at that.
Oblack
Not that I'm saying you're right, but most of the players don't even live in Manchester. They live in Cheshire, which is quite the opposite of a dump.
Hang in there De Gea fans.
It s going to be Valdes no doubt about that, I think the question will be how long he can last as number one and who will come on as his backup. Will we bring in an up and coming keeper, stick with lindegaard or bring in genuine competition.
Two big concerns with Valdes are if his knee will be up to playing regularly and he is a keeper who will make lots and lots of errors just a question of whether or not he will get away with them or not. Personally I really don't think we should be relying on Valdes because he could be a disaster and would love to see someone like oblak come in but i think Valdes will be given a chance by LVG.

Of the big hitters (de Gea, Valdes, Cech, Lloris) I think Valdes is the most likely.
De Gea I'm not sure will leave, but I doubt we'll keep him for 1 year and let him go, and he probably wants to go.
Cech has various options, and I think he's looked weak for the last 3 seasons, particularly at his near post and general agility.
Lloris is decent but not worth the £30m+ Levy would hold out for.
I'm not sold on Valdes but good enough to give us reason not to panic buy.
So I think Valdes or a more unknown quantity.

My money is on Valdes.
Gone with Valdes.
Only 159 of us so far? Dissapointing.
Knowing the Real Madrid circus that ensues after a signing, this would have been announced already. We have a little over 3 weeks to go till pre-season doubt he will be going anywhere.

People still voting for De Gea: let it go.
Just... let it go.
Just... let it go.
just for the record, it's Oblak, not Oblack.
Oh and I still think De Gea's gonna stay, if that doesn't happen though, then I'll think about what next.

I'd like to bring this to everyone's attention since pre-season is upon us. Do people still think he will leave?
Yes. I think by the back end of the week things will nearly be done.
