De Gea’s itchy feat
DAVID DE GEA is desperate to get his gloves on the Champions League trophy.
So his ex-Manchester United mentor Eric Steele admits it will be no surprise if he is considering his Old Trafford future and starting to look elsewhere.
The Spaniard’s contract expires in June – though United have the option to extend it by another year.
But the lack of an agreement tying De Gea, 28, down for the long term has sparked fears his time at United will soon come to an end.
United’s Champions League rivals Juventus are monitoring the situation.
And Steele told the Goalkeepers’ Union podcast: “If you ask David now, he is fully committed to Manchester United.
“He has got a fantastic rapport with the players and fans, but he wants to be a winner and inevitably he might look at his pathway now and think, ‘Will I get that at United’.
“The one thing that’s missing is he wants to win that Champions League.”
