Agreed. Does well when he has loads to do. Goes to shit when his team is expected to have possession. Probably why he's disappointing playing for Spain as well.
Should we renew De Gea's contract?

A new Goalkeeper should be the number 1 priority.
It's even more important than a striker for me.

Comedy Dave strikes again
Sell for free.
Ten Hag not being ruthless enough with De Gea will probably cost him his job. Not even a relegation side would think about extending his contract after the season he has had.
Gracias
When did he even last play for Spain? Isn’t he like their seventh choice keeper now or something?
But he has gone to shit multiple times this season under pressure.
Replacing him or not doesn't solve our biggest issue and that's scoring goals. We're fecking dreadful up the other end.
As I've said before, if we can somehow find the money to sign a keeper a 9 and someone to play beside casemiro, go for.it.

Exactly this, it was pointless bringing Butland in if it was just so we had two keepers in him and Heaton to sit on the bench keeping each other company.
Sucks because with him overtaking Stepney today as the goalkeeper who has played the most in the club's history, it would have been nice to actually be able to say nice things about him.
But if we want to do that, our best bet is with him as a former player.

Absolutely not
Whenever the pressure gets heavier and the matches get bigger he shrinks and plays smaller
We need someone like an Allisson or Ramsdale who will actually save and win you extra points over the course of a season rather than give them up senselessly.

No. But mainly due to his lack ball playing ability, which is the main reason behind our extremely deep defensive line.
A contract renewal is suicide at this point.
It will be one of the worst contractual decisions of all time.

How does that has anything to do with the fact that De Gea is shit and has cost us multiple games?
If we renew his contract I'm finding a new club next season
Yikes.
Perfectly put.
Because we have to proritise how we spend our money and watching this team 3 times a week for 6 months I'm still not sure how anyone can say a keeper is higher priority than someone to score goals
even if he agrees to sign for free...
no.
no.
We can't possibly be successful with a goal like that. Would be a massive mistake giving him a new contract. He makes a great save here and there, but honestly all keepers do. The definition of a liability, and it impacts everyone around him.
There's a reason for that. He was making mistakes like the one today relatively routinely for Spain. Spain's dropped him for a while now. Probably because they're serious about winning football games.
I'm pretty sure I read the Barca B keeper is ahead of him at this point. Incredible.
Please no, enough is enough. He's gonna cost us Top 4 again like he did a few seasons back.
He's absolutely fecking awful
Feck of De Gea! And that applies to anyone still trying to justify him being our No.1 going forward as well.
Some fans will tell you that his shot stopping is excellent
Some people just remember the occasional highlight reel save and think that's enough for a United keeper. No thanks. Get rid already
De Gea should've gone last summer, he should've been a priority to be replaced for the last 2 seasons at least.
For the first time I am switching to 'no'.
Dave has been a great servant to the club but his poor distribution alongside now a seemingly higher number of clangers each year means his time needs to be up.

Renew De Gea and we simultaneously start the conversations about who the next manager should be.
Save us, Butland.
I'm serious. Throw him in for the last few games and see what happens. De Gea's head is gone and the defence have zero confidence in him.

As if his ball playing and claiming of crosses wasn't bad enough we can't even rely on his shot stopping anymore, cancel the contract talks and get him gone. Been saying for years we need to be more ruthless with players and this is another one
Probably because he's past his best I guess.
Agreed. Feck watching this clown any longer. Thanks for your service, now piss off.
He's a bad goalkeeper. I'm starting to think this particular dip in form has something to do with his pending exit this summer. He seemed quite reserved after the Brighton semi-final win.
Yep, that description applied to him at his prime but not anymore.
He is good .. But does not have the mentality and the passing ..
He messes up when we need him the most .. Better get a younger player that can pass .. And is more than average in saves .. Like a Ramsdale ..
I think that will benefit us long term..

He's one of the worst keepers in the league.
I was going to say only the Leeds and Leicester keepers were worse but they've both been dropped.

People still think he's a good shot stopper btw.
Cowardly keeper that never plays well in the highest pressure games. I don't even consider him a club legend honestly, his best years were us sitting deep and getting battered so he could make a bunch of reflex saves.
