Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho fears he could lose superstar keeper David De Gea on a FREE transfer to Juventus.
In August, United were positive over the chance of De Gea renewing his deal.
He is committed to Old Trafford until the summer, with the club having an option to extend to 2020.
“If the club want to be better than it is and not worse, obviously it would be very important to keep David,” Mourinho told Sky Sports.
The Italian giants have great form when it comes to snapping up top talent for nothing and they got a good look at De Gea in their 1-0 Champions League win against Manchester United on Tuesday night.
An Old Trafford source admitted: “De Gea played against his future club on Tuesday.
“Juve are experts in intelligent deals. If United don’t sell him in the summer, Juventus will wait until the end of his contract.”
The United shot-stopper was rumoured to be the subject of a $161m bid from Real Madrid in September although the deal eventually fell through.
De Gea, who joined United from Atletico Madrid in 2011 in a £18.9m deal, is one of several players nearing the end of their deals with the Premier League club.
