Manchester United’s manager, Erik ten Hag, wants to replace David De Gea as the club’s first-choice goalkeeper.
This is despite the Dutchman’s public assurances that he wants the Spaniard to remain at the club.
De Gea, who has had some sad moments this season, had one of those disastrous moments against West Ham United on Sunday night.
Manchester United are now battling with Liverpool for a place in the top four of the Premier League.
His current deal at Old Trafford runs out at the end of the season, and the former Ajax boss insisted on Sunday night that the club wants to extend De Gea’s deal.
But the Manchester Evening News is reporting now that the Dutchman chose his words carefully and was smart enough not to say that he wanted the former Atletico Madrid man to remain number one.
He wants to sign another goalkeeper that will compete with De Gea to become his first choice.
