Man United was smart with his last contract
In the last contract ,the board installed a clause they have now activated when they heard PSG knocking on the poles. They were prepared to take David in at any price. They were also fixed making him the best paid goalkeeper in world football, and we know with PSG owner such things said are never jokes.
Happily, United stepped up their business in keeping him at the club and activated a clause they inserted in the contract. After the activation, United and De Gea’s agent started their discussion over the new deal.

The deal is said to be worth £375k-a-week, still making him the most lucrative stopper in the game. Heck! He could be getting paid better than some of the best infielders in the game. De Gea has made a high amount of 265 appearances for the club and has recently in the game against Liverpool, hit his 100th clean sheet in the Premier League.
This season he has kept a low count of seven clean sheets only. United and David’s shocking start to the campaign saw them become the second highest conceding team (36) in the English Top Flight. However, since Jose Mourinho left, the club has been able to keep more goals out.
