Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Talks 'Positive' David De Gea Contract Negotiations

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer thinks David De Gea's contract situation will be resolved after a summer of negotiating between club and player.

The tactician told reporters the Red Devils hope he will stay at Old Trafford for a long time: "David has had a summer where he has been negotiating, and we hope we can get it sorted. I am positive. We hope he stays here for many years."

De Gea's contract is set to expire at the end of the 2019-20 campaign. Rumours of the negotiations persisted throughout the past season, and he reportedly held out on signing a new deal as he wanted certainty about the future of then-manager Jose Mourinho, per the Mirror's David Anderson.
