Man Utd: De Gea has ‘emotionally checked out’ says pundit
Manchester United look set to have a big decision on David de Gea to make that could impact their summer. Reports this morning claim Real Madrid will come back in for David de Gea with Zinedine Zidane a big admirer. And now might be the time to sell.

Henderson looks like a good candidate for the future and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will need to decide if he’s ready to go straight in or if United should go out for another top keeper.
Jan Oblak is about as good as it gets right now, but if United fail to get into the Champions League it might be tough to convince him.
United’s Premier League rivals Manchester City and Liverpool transformed their teams with the signings of Ederson and Alisson - but there’s no obvious option out there for United.
Gianluigi Donnarumma is another with potential but United may chose to give Henderson a year to show he’s ready.
Of course they could reject Madrid’s advances for De Gea but, after his displays over the last 18 months, now might be the best time to cash in.
He is their highest earner after Paul Pogba and Alexis Sanchez - with all three failing to show value for money right now.

Man Utd: David De Gea an 'outdated keeper' claims pundit
Trending
And if they can get all three off their books that would open up the potential for a real revamp under Ole Gunner Solskjaer.
De Gea would open the door for Henderson, another young Brit - the type of player Solskjaer is keen on - and one at a fraction of the cost.
It would clear a huge pathway both in terms of a spot in the team and of money that could be redistributed elsewhere.
De Gea’s performances have dropped off a cliff since he signed the last big contract, and maybe now would be the perfect time to pack him off to Real Madrid.
Madrid are back on top of La Liga and Thibaut Courtois has overcome a difficult start but the Sun’s report this morning claims Zidane still wants De Gea.
