The Red Devils reportedly 'want to move on from the Spaniard' despite the club's No 1 receiving the backing of Erik ten Hag
Manchester United have 'growing doubts' over David de Gea's position as the club's No 1 according to reports.
The goalkeeper was at the centre of the controversy on Sunday as Erik ten Hag's side suffered a disappointing 1-0 loss to West Ham at the London Stadium, with De Gea making a costly mistake, failing to deal with Said Benrahma's 20-yard shot which slipped over his gloves and into the net.
It is one of several errors United's first choice goalkeeper has made in recent times, the most notable of those coming as the Red Devils crashed out of the Europa League after they were beaten by Sevilla 3-0 (5-2) on aggregate.
De Gea's distribution was questioned during that match, while fans have claimed that his teammates were starting to 'grow tired' of his costly errors, and said 'it was time for him to go'.
While Ten Hag rallied to defend the 32-year-old after the match, who still leads the way as the goalkeeper with the most clean sheets (15) this season, it appears concerns are starting to mount from within the club over his place in the starting 11.
De Gea's distribution was questioned during that match, while fans have claimed that his teammates were starting to 'grow tired' of his costly errors, and said 'it was time for him to go'.
According to Manchester Evening News, 'some inside Man United have reservations over extending De Gea's contract' with the outlet also claiming that 'some figures at United want to move on from the Spaniard.'
His contract is due to expire this summer and despite overtaking legendary shot-stopper Alex Stepney last weekend to amass more appearances than any other goalkeeper in the club's history (540). The goalkeeper is yet to agree terms to renew his £375,000-a-week deal.
