Manchester United news

- The Red Devils are confident of getting David De Gea to pen a new deal
- Romelu Lukaku hailed following Burnley performance
Mourinho speaks out
Jose Mourinho insists he isn’t worried about being sacked because he knows it would cost Manchester United a fortune to axe him.
The Special One opened up on his Old Trafford future after United beat Burnley 2-0 yesterday afternoon.
He told La Repubblica: “If they sent me away, do you have any idea how much money they would have to give me?!”
“They say I'm in danger, but I don't think so.”
De Gea update
Jose Mourinho is confident of getting David De Gea to sign a new long-term contract at United.
“I don’t belong in the process of discussing deals with the players and negotiations with agents,” Mourinho said of De Gea, who is out of contract next summer.
“I never did that, it’s something that I don’t even like to do. I would be a bad negotiator; I would give everything to the players. So I don’t belong to that.
“I just know that everything is in movement and hopefully sooner than later we’ll have good news.”
Lukaku hailed
Romelu Lukaku was “simply outstanding” against Burnley on Sunday, claims former West Ham goalkeeper Shaka Hislop.
“It’s right to pay credit to Romelu Lukaku, I thought he was simply outstanding throughout,” Hislop said of Lukaku who netted twice.
“Back to goal, running onto through balls from Alexis Sanchez.
“Everything was on point. Long may it continue, that’s all everyone wants.”
