Jose Mourinho has revealed that David de Gea is poised to sign a contract extension at Manchester United, bringing to an end any uncertainty surrounding his future.

The Red Devils have always maintained that they have no intention of parting with a man who has been a model of consistency for them during a testing period – with that form recognised with a record-breaking haul of four Player of the Year awards.

Real Madrid had often led the chase for De Gea, but they snapped up Thibaut Courtois from Chelsea over the summer and United have been freed to focus on agreeing fresh terms with their  No. 1.

Those talks are set to reach a positive conclusion, with Mourinho telling reporters when quizzed on what the 27-year-old could be worth in a market place where Alisson and Kepa Arrizabalaga have been on the move for £67 million ($85m) and £72m ($92m) respectively: “His [De Gea’s] valuation is zero, because he is a Manchester United player who, as soon as possible, will sign a new contract.

“He likes it here, we love him, we want him to stay, he wants to stay, so when a player is not in the market the value is zero.

“A goalkeeper is a player and sometimes people forget that. A goalkeeper wins points and wins titles, so he is as important as another player.”
