Manchester United set to generate one-year extension clause in David De Gea’s contract

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has confirmed the club will start a one-year extension clause in David De Gea’s contract before given him a new deal at the club. The Spaniard has signed a new four-year deal with the option of another year in 2015 after his move to Real Madrid was not possible on deadline day due to the club’s failure to process the necessary paperwork in time. De Gea’s been crowned United’s player of the year in three of the last four seasons but Real  Madrid have

maintained their interest of the 27-year-old. Mourinho, though, says De Gea will be offered a new long-term deal to stay at Old Trafford and revealed the club will take up their option of extending his deal by 12 months
‘It’s clear that we are not going to let the option "to extend his contract dea" disappear,’ said by Mourinho. ‘A goalkeeper like he is, at a club that wants to be better and better and better – we are not going to let that option go away. We are going to try as possible. ‘[Executive vice-chairman] Mr Woodward is not on holiday – he barely has holidays – and of course he is going to try to give him a contract that keeps him here for much more than the option that, of course, we are going to execute.’
