According to the Mirror, Manchester United are looking to offload David de Gea in the summer as they look to put their trust in Dean Henderson.

David de Gea earns around £350,000-a-week at Manchester United and if the club decides to terminate the Spaniard goalkeeper's contract, they will have to pay the 30-year-old a large sum of around £36.4million to get him off the wage bill. The Red Devils de Gea value him at £50m if any clib wants to sign him.

It is understood that Manchester United are currently spending a staggering £570,000 a week on five senior goalkeepers and the club hierarchy want to reduce that amount. Dean Henderson sealed a five-year contract worth £100,000 a week last summer.

David de Gea started the season as the Manchester United number one but Dean Henderson’s performances in the Spaniard’s absence has persuaded Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to out his faith in the youngster for the upcoming seasons.
