Inside David de Gea's mega savings that leave thrifty Man Utd goalkeeper able to almost HALVE pay for new deal | The Sun

MANCHESTER UNITED goalkeeper David De Gea has reportedly racked up £20million worth of savings in recent years.

The Spaniard has just one month remaining on his contract, but he is set to sign a new deal before the summer transfer window opens.

Although he is currently the top earner at Old Trafford – on £375,000-a-week – De Gea is expected to accept a huge pay-cut in order to stay at the club.

From July, he is expected to rake in £200,000-a-week – almost half of what he's been earning for the past four years.

However, according to The Daily Mail, the goalkeeper has stockpiled enough money to cover the losses.

De Gea has gathered £20m of savings in the firm he uses to hold his image rights cash.
