Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho is “not confident” goalkeeper David De Gea will sign a new contract – but says he is “not worried” by the situation.<\/p>\n
In August, United were positive over the chance of De Gea renewing his deal.<\/p>\n
He is committed to Old Trafford until the summer, with the club having an option to extend to 2020.<\/p>\n
“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.<\/p>\n
De Gea, 27, was named in May as the club’s player of the year for an unprecedented fourth time.<\/p>\n
Juventus have reportedly targeted the Spain international as another low-cost high-quality addition after picking up Liverpool midfielder Emre Can, Barcelona full-back Dani Alves, Bayern Munich midfielder Sami Khedira and Athletic Bilbao striker Fernando Llorente on free transfers in recent years.<\/p>\n
De Gea, who joined United from Atletico Madrid in 2011 in a \u00a318.9m deal, is one of several players nearing the end of their deals with the Premier League club.<\/p>\n
France forward Anthony Martial, Spanish midfielder Juan Mata and Ecuador wing-back Antonio Valencia are also out of contract at the end of the season.<\/p>\n
Mourinho was keen to sign at least one central defender and a winger in the summer, but could not convince the board that his targets would strengthen the squad.<\/p>\n
