De Gea breaks silence amid Man Utd contract uncertainty

The 27-year-old wants to focus on matters on the pitch as opposed to his personal situation away from it, following links with Juventus

David de Gea has said that his focus remains on his on-field performances amid uncertainty over his Manchester United future.

Manager Jose Mourinho admitted that he is not optimistic that the goalkeeper will pen a new deal with the club, with his current contract due to expire at the end of the season.

The club do retain the right to extending De Gea's deal automatically by another year but that has not stopped transfer links with Juventus, with reports suggesting they'll swoop in to sign the Spaniard on a free.
