You will not be first choice next season – Ten Hag warns De Gea

Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag has confirmed his plans to bring in a new goalkeeper next season.

Ten Hag, speaking at the club’s end-of-the-season dinner on Monday night, made it clear that David De Gea will not be his first choice.

De Gea however is expected to stay at Old Trafford and sign a new deal with the Premier League giants.

“De Gea will stay but I will not say he’ll always be my number one goalkeeper,” Ten Hag told the UK Times.

“I say this because in a club like Man United there must be competition always, in all positions.”

De Gea kept 16 clean sheets during the 2022/2023 season to win the Golden Glove, but also committed some high-profile errors.
