He has impressed this season with eight clean sheets in 17 league games.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

“I hope [to stay for the rest of my career],” De Gea said. “I was saying this is my club, I’ve been here many, many years and it’s a huge honour to be here and I’m so happy here.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Last month, United<\/span>\u00a0triggered one-year contract extensions<\/span><\/a>\u00a0for England striker Marcus Rashford, England full-back Luke Shaw, Portugal defender Diogo Dalot and Brazil midfielder Fred.<\/span><\/p>\n

De Gea, who has made over 500 appearances for the Red Devils, said he was “very relaxed” about his contract situation, adding: “Just focus on training, perform as best as I can. But, for sure, it’s going to end in a good way.”<\/span><\/p>\n

De Gea was signed by Sir Alex Ferguson from Atletico Madrid, in a\u00a0<\/span>deal worth \u00a318.9m<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since then, he has become the highest paid goalkeeper in the world, earning \u00a3375,000 a week when his contract was last extended in 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

During his 11 and a half years at the club, he has kept 138 clean sheets in 394 Premier League appearances and won the Golden Glove in the season of 2017-18.<\/span><\/p>\n

United are\u00a0<\/span>currently in talks<\/span><\/a>\u00a0with Crystal Palace goalkeeper Jack Butland about a move to become a number two to De Gea.<\/span><\/p>\n
