Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has reaffirmed hopes of David de Gea signing a new deal.

Ten Hag was asked about his goalkeeper ahead of tonight's Europa League clash at Sevilla.

He said, ''Stopping goals, avoiding goals as that is the main job for a goalkeeper.

"You can do it in many more ways, everyone has their own particular style and nowadays in possession, it becomes more and more important, especially at the top level because there you take control and it is more difficult for the opponent to gain pressure, you also concede less chances.

"But at the end of the day it's about stopping goals, stopping shots, stopping crosses, one-on-ones etc so that is more like the classic goalkeeper. I think David is really multi-functional and a really compete goalkeeper. We are very happy with him.''
