Manchester United: The Devils transfer summer plan – Who’s leaving and staying
By Zaph Hutson
Goalkeepers
David De Gea: Stay
David de Gea is Man U’s best player and is one of the greatest goalkeepers in the world. Perhaps Mourinho’s biggest job this offseason is to keep the Spaniard since he contributed 19 clean sheets this year. Fortunately for United, de Gea is “happy” where he is so he likely won’t be going anywhere.
Still, it is possible de Gea will be on his way out if Mourinho can sign another keeper of his caliber. We’ll have to keep a close eye in coming days.
Sergio Romero: Leave
While de Gea is at the peak of his game, Romero is not. He played in only one game this year which is less than most backup keepers. He has also expressed interest in returning to Argentina to finish his career.
United won’t really miss him either as they have a promising young goalkeeper in Joel Pereira. There is a chance, however, that Pereira leaves instead of Romero.
