The David de Gea contract situation has been growing quite complicated over the past few months and now, they have decided to not meet his demands and give him a wage package that's on par with that of the club's highest earner Alexis Sanchez.

David de Gea is frustrated with the decision and it looks like a move could very well happen in the summer. The club had earlier decided to go on and trigger the one-year extension option on his contract and has tied David de Gea to the club till 2020.

David de Gea reportedly wanted a basic pay of £350,000 a week which will increase to £500,000 with add-ons. However, the Manchester United board has decided that they cannot offer such exorbitant rates at the moment. The Red Devils are expected to undergo a massive squad overhaul in the summer as they continue to struggle in the Premier League.
