Manchester United may have a decision to make this summer with regards to the future of David de Gea, after a mixed start to the season.
De Gea was in poor form at the start of the season, having made errors in games against Brighton and Brentford, which Manchester United lost at the start of the campaign.
There has been debate over De Gea’s long-term future at the club, with some suggestions that Erik ten Hag has already planned to replace him in the transfer window next year.
Now, former Leeds United goalkeeper Paddy Kenny has said Ten Hag has a decision to make with regards to the situation.

Kenny said: “Where are we with De Gea? He makes unbelievable saves but he does make the odd error now“He has cost them this season. Brentford, just off the top of my head. For me, has his course run at Manchester United?
“He has been there for nearly 10 years, that’s a long time. Does he need a fresh challenge? Apparently, he is on a lot of money as well.

“It’s a tough one. Do they have to go out and spend some money on a replacement or do they keep him? For me, he has recently been off it.”
Kenny added: “I know we got player of the year last season but I think anyone would have got that playing in goal for them last season.
“He has done this before where he hasn’t been playing well then he has come back and been unreal. It’s a difficult one to pick at the minute.”
Manchester United brought in Martin Dubravka on loan from Newcastle to provide competition to De Gea, but he is yet to play a game for the club, with the Spaniard starting in Europa League games as well.
