PREMIER LEAGUE Revealed: Why Manchester United withdrew their initial contract offer to De Gea
Erik ten Hag was happy to keep De Gea as first choice keeper at United but changed his mind.
With the Africa Cup of Nations set to run from January 13 to February 11, the £43.8 million summer signing's potential absence could span up to eight crucial matches for the club.
De Gea, the seasoned Spaniard who had spent an illustrious 12 years at Old Trafford, found himself out of the club's plans during the summer after his contract had run its course.
The once-dominant goalkeeper was even offered reduced terms to stay at United, with his wages slashed from an eye-watering £375,000 a week to a still-respectable £200,000 a week. However, even this deal was taken off the table, leaving De Gea's future at the club hanging in the balance.
In a surprising twist, United took the unusual step of requesting De Gea not to commit to joining another club until they had successfully completed André Onana's transfer.
