David de Gea signed a contract extension at Manchester United before the club backed out of the agreed deal, according to reports.

The goalkeeper is said to have put pen to paper on terms that drastically slashed his current £375,000-a-week wages, only for United to not sign it themselves.

They have now lodged a fresh proposal with the 32-year-old with an even lower salary, The Athletic claim, and his future at Old Trafford is increasingly uncertain.

As it stands, De Gea will become a free agent on June 30 and he is yet to agree to the latest contract offer as he continues to mull over his options.

Mail Sport understands the framework of a new deal to reduce De Gea's earnings was agreed some time ago, but Erik ten Hag is unconvinced about keeping the former Atletico Madrid man as his No 1 and would rather sign a new first-choice.
