David De Gea wants higher pay at Man United says expert
David De Gea made another mistake as Manchester United saw their hopes of a top four finish dented by Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City on Wednesday night.
The Red Devils went into the game needing to respond, having lost seven of their last nine matches across all competitions.
