Manchester United will have to activate the option to extend the contract with David De Gea for 12 months, reports the BBC.

The current agreement of the Spaniard expires next summer, but he refuses to sign a new long-term deal with the "red devils".

Thus, the Manchester club is forced to take this step, so that in the winter David would not agree on a preliminary contract with another club..

According to the source, De Gea is not against staying at Old Trafford, but the player’s representatives cannot coordinate the salary of the player with the club..

Earlier it was reported that Agent De Gea will meet with the leadership of Juventus.

This season, De Gea has played 18 matches in Manchester United in all tournaments, in which he missed 23 goals and kept his goal “dry” five times.
