PERTH, Australia -- Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed David De Gea is on the brink of signing a new contract at Manchester United.
The Spaniard is on the verge of agreeing a new five-year deal worth in excess of £350k-a-week and Solskjaer is hopeful an announcement will be made soon.
"Hopefully we can agree with David as I've said a few times," Solskjaer told a news conference at the WACA cricket ground on Tuesday.
"That'll be up to David and the club to announce when that happens, if and when."
De Gea sat out the 2-0 win over Perth Glory on Saturday but is set to return to the team against Leeds United at Optus Stadium on Wednesday.
