Man Utd icon De Gea ready to reduce demands and finally find new side, with most likely destination revealed

Former Manchester United star David de Gea is reportedly willing to reduce his wage demands to find a new side, as two sides have opened talks for his signing.

De Gea remains without a club despite walking away from Old Trafford as a free agent last summer. After 545 appearances and multiple trophies at United, he saw the signing of Andre Onana as a reduction of his potential minutes.

And while he d have no doubt found a role as a No.1, having played every Premier League game in his final campaign at United, countless opportunities to move to a new side have come and gone.

The latest to be reported was a move to Genoa, who were interested in making De Gea their new goalkeeper until unrealistic expectations in terms of his salary saw them back out.

NLD team news: Jorginho captains Arsenal as Postecoglou goes full ‘it’s who we are, mate’

Ange Postecoglou has thrown caution to the wind with his team selection for the North London derby as Jorginho comes in for Arsenal and captains the side.

Much has been made ahead of the NLD over Arsenal s midfield problem with Declan Rice suspended, Mikel Merino out with a shoulder injury picked up in his first Gunners training session and Martin Odegaard suffering an ankle problem on international duty with Norway.

Real Madrid: Kylian Mbappe to miss important UCL clash while Bellingham nurses injury

The injury to Mbappe could also open the door to 18-year-old Endrick who also recently joined the club from Brazilian outfit Palmerias.

Just like Mbappe, Endrick also scored on his Champions League debut in prime Bobby Charlton fashion, a man he bizarrely considers his idol, thumping home from the best part of 25-yards while Mbappe and Vinicius Jr were both up in support, showing the sheer confidence of the youngster.

The injury can t have come at a worse time for Mbappe, just as he got into the swing of things at the Santiago Bernabeu.
So far, he has lived up to the hype, but the Madrid faithful can be very unforgiving as the likes of Iker Casillas, Sergio Ramos and even Cristiano Ronaldo found out as they were whistled by their home support.
Mbappe is set to …
