Manchester United considering De Gea replacements

Manchester United are looking into possible replacements for David De Gea, who only signed a new deal at Old Trafford last year, reports The Daily Mirror. 

The Spaniard penned a new four-year deal back in September worth a reported £375,000 a week. 

However, De Gea's form has dipped in recent months and United are now considering possible replacements for the 29-year-old. 

De Gea has been United's number one since joining from Atletico Madrid in 2011 and while he was once considered one of the best goalkeepers in Europe, his displays between the sticks of late have left little to the imagination. 

Unfortunately for De Gea, too, is that his dip in form has coincided with Dean Henderson's rise to prominence with Sheffield United. 

The England hopeful is enjoying a season-long loan with the Blades from United and De Gea's drop in performance levels has heightened speculation that Henderson will return to Old Trafford and displace the Spain international. 

Only Martin Dubravka (4) has committed more errors leading to an opposition goal than De Gea (3) in the Premier League this season with his showings for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side drawing criticism, while his WhoScored rating of 6.49 is among the worst of goalkeepers in England's top tier.
