The future of David de Gea at Manchester United is in increasing doubt after their goalkeeper reshuffle this week.

De Gea, United's No.1 for the past decade, was deposed by Dean Henderson last season, although he retained his place for the Europa League campaign.

But with United having confirmed Tom Heaton's return on a two-year deal and handing a one-year contract extension to Lee Grant, De Gea looks to be on his way this summer, says the Mirror.

United boss Solskjaer admitted the sharing of goalkeeping duties between De Gea and Henderson was unsustainable for another campaign, with both desperate to be first-choice.

Having lost his Premier League place to Henderson, De Gea has suffered the same fate with Spain, Atletico Bilbao's Unai Simon given the No.1 spot by boss Luis Enrique for Euro 2020.

Although De Gea will not be prepared to be back-up to Henderson for a full season, United are likely to find it difficult to shift their highest earner, who is on £350,000-a-week.
