Five arguments why Man United shouldn’t use De Gea to get Bale Five arguments why Manchester United shouldn’t use De Gea to get Bale According to the Manchester Evening News, Manchester United may be constrained to use David De Gea in any deal to sign Gareth Bale from Real Madrid. United were tightly linked with a transfer for Bale before his move to the Bernabeu, even making a big bid than the Spanish giants’ £85 million. The transfer doesn’t seem to have finished United’s interest in the Welsh wizard although the advice De Gea could be leading in the opposite direction is a negative one. Popularity De Gea is one of the most lovely Manchester United players for the fans. He’s been resistant during a difficult period for the club and a model to fans that a player can shine at United despite the problems confronting the side. Position De Gea is a world class goalkeeper and it’s possibly easier for United to sign attacking players than a top quality shot stopper. United also already have a good left midfield alternative in the form of Angel Di Maria. Age The 24-years-old De Gea could be United’s goalkeeper for the next decade. He’s a long term player and while United could seduce other goalkeepers, they may not have the lifespan that the Spaniard offers. Contract Recent reports have proposed that De Gea is actually refering a new contract with Manchester United, which opposes the proposal he could be used in a deal to help sign Bale. His contract is also possibly to be smaller than any deal United would have to offer Bale. Ronaldo With Angel Di Maria and Bale at the same club, it would effect on United’s opportunities of re-signing Cristiano Ronaldo in the future. The Portuguese star likes to be the leader and he could be put off by the perspective of being behind Di Maria and Bale in the Manchester United pecking order.
