David de Gea “is staying” at Manchester United, says Peter Schmeichel, with the former goalkeeper claiming the Spaniard has been “tied down” despite no official announcement of a new contract.
The future of the Red Devils’ No. 1 has been a subject of much speculation for several months.
De Gea has entered the final year of his current deal at Old Trafford and initially appeared reluctant to commit to fresh terms.
It has, however, been suggested that a long-term extension has been thrashed out with the 28-year-old.
Schmeichel says that agreement is done, with United able to rest easy after securing the services of a talismanic presence and four-time Player of the Year.
The Red Devils legend told The Mirror: “David was a great signal that we start off with arguably our best performer over the last five years.
“We have tied him down, he is staying and now we move on and build on that.”
