The former Red Devils defender thinks the club have lost their negotiating position since the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson
Manchester United’s loss of strength has forced them to overpay to keep their stars, according to former Red Devils defender Gary Neville.
The club triggered star goalkeeper David de Gea’s option to extend his contract through the 2019-20 this week, as the Spain international would have been free to leave this summer otherwise.
The deal gives United more time to work out a long-term deal with De Gea, with Jose Mourinho suggesting earlier in the week that a contract can be agreed upon.
