One other Man Utd star will copy Paul Pogba decision and say ‘get me out of here’ - pundit
MANCHESTER UNITED midfielder Paul Pogba will not be the only player demanding a move away from the club this summer.
Man United: De Gea will 'want to leave with Pogba' says pundit
That is the opinion of ESPN FC pundit and former West Ham goalkeeper Shaka Hislop.
Pogba claimed earlier this month he is open to taking on a new challenge away from Manchester United this summer.
The Frenchman has attracted interest from the likes of Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and former club Juventus.
But Hislop reckons United goalkeeper David de Gea will also be looking for an exit from Old Trafford.
I think De Gea’s thinking the exact same as Pogba - ‘get me out of here’
De Gea’s contract at United expires at the end of next season and he has rejected every offer of an extension so far from the club.
It is thought the Spaniard wants to be paid as much as the club's highest earner Alexis Sanchez.
Hislop believes losing world-class players like Pogba and De Gea will only highlight the difficult position United are in at the moment.
“You almost have to remind yourself that this is Manchester United we are talking about,” Hislop said.
“One of the biggest clubs, one of the biggest brands in world football.
“Yet somehow, so far in this transfer window, underwhelming as you say.
“And their fortunes, it seems, lies with three players.
“One who probably has a deal sorted out with Inter Milan [Romelu Lukaku] and the two others in David de Gea and Paul Pogba who, in my opinion, I think De Gea’s thinking the exact same as Pogba - ‘get me out of here’.
Real Madrid want De Gea AND Pogba claims Castles
“I just don’t see how things get any better.
“Then that makes attracting players a whole lot more difficult.
“When your world class talent is kicking down the exit door, you don’t have Champions League football to attract anybody, how does this play out in the long term for Manchester United.”
