On the other hand, Zidane is keen on rebuilding the Los Blancos squad at the end of the campaign, no thanks to their below-the-par performance this term.

Equally, De Gea, who has repeatedly refused signing a new deal is also on the radar of Read Madrid alongside the duo of Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus.

Interestingly, the new deal would have made the Spanish goalkeeper United’s highest paid player.

At the last count, Belgian forward Romelu Lukaku is another United star considering his future at the Theater of Dreams, even as the Red Devils are set to lose Ander Herrera, who reportedly signed a pre-contract with PSG.
