De Gea "wants to know the future of Jose Mourinho" before signing the new agreement Man United

David de Gea wants clarification on the future of Jose Mourinho at Manchester United before agreeing to sign a new contract.

Discussions on a new deal remain in stalemate, although United has opted to extend its current 12-month contract until June 2020.

The Spaniard is happy at Old Trafford after seven years at the club, but he wants to know the club's direction.

But the Spanish wants clarification on the future of José Mourinho before signing a new agreement

according to The mirror The future of Mourinho is a major problem when it comes to negotiating an agreement.

United has struggled this season and is lagging behind in their efforts to rank in the top four, not to mention a title challenge.

They are seventh, seven points off fourth and 14 points behind league leaders Manchester City.

Mourinho remains under pressure to reach the football stadium of the Champions League next year and improve its form.

De Gea has been an outstanding player at United since his arrival from Spain in 2011.

Last weekend, they were held at home by Crystal Palace. Marouane Fellaini then needed a goal at the last minute to beat Young Boys and get a 16th place in Europe.

Spain No. 1 wants to win the Champions League and complete the solitary crown that he has won with United.

The 28-year-old also wants a parity with the club's biggest salary, Alexis Sanchez, at around £ 350,000 a week.

Mourinho on Tuesday called the Spanish "the best goalkeeper in the world" and said he knew he wanted to stay at Old Trafford.
