David de Gea is set to pen a new deal that will see him earn as much as Paul Pogba at Manchester United, say reports.

The goalkeeper is out of contract next summer and United are at risk of losing him on a free transfer.

However, the Guardian reports that there has been a breakthrough in talks and the Spain international is on the verge of penning an extension worth around £290,000 per week.

That would match Pogba’s salary at Old Trafford and it is understood that De Gea expects to sign off on the deal soon.
