De Gea's contract expires on June 30 and the United board are yet to sign off on a new deal for the long-serving Spaniard despite personal terms initially being agreed.

The 32-year-old looked set to leave Old Trafford with Jordan Pickford being tipped to replace him earlier this month.

De Gea is understood to be open to staying at Man United, however, he was left off the club's retained list.

He enjoyed a good 2022/23 season under Erik ten Hag having scooped up the Premier League Golden Glove award.

However, high-profile mistakes last season led to further questions about his future at the club.

De Gea's ability with his feet has been cited as another reason why he may not be a good fit in Ten Hag's system.

This is not something Onana struggles with training ground footage of the Cameroon international showing off his shooting skills during a training session at Inter.

Liverpool 1-1 Leicester City: Reds fail to go seven points clear of Manchester City with lacklustre draw

http://bit.ly/2GbpR4P Liverpool missed a golden opportunity to go seven points clear at the top of the Premier League after only managing a 1-1 draw at home to Leicester. Following Manchester City’s defeat at Newcastle last night, the Reds could have put themselves in a commanding position at the summit and got off to the perfect start when Sadio Mane gave Liverpool the lead after just two minutes. But the Reds were lacklustre and let Leicester back in it when Harry Maguire took advantage of some slack defending to equalise just before the break. It means Liverpool are now five points clear of Pep Guardiola’s men but it was not the result Jurgen Klopp’s men were looking for. MORE TO FOLLOW Let's block ads! (Why?)
