Manchester United's hierarchy 'REGRET David de Gea's huge £375,000-a-week deal' because of the 'wage inequality' within the squad... amid Paul Pogba rejecting a £350,000-a-week contract offer

David de Gea's long-term deal worth £375,000 a week, agreed back in 2019, is reportedly a regret of the Manchester United hierarchy.

The goalkeeper became United's highest-paid player two years ago after two years of talks between the shot-stopper's camp and the club.

But the deal, which guaranteed De Gea £75million in salary, still does not sit well with those in power at Old Trafford, according to The Athletic.
