Former Manchester United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel has appealed to David de Gea to sign a new deal at the club, with his potential transfer to Real Madrid no closer to being finalised.
The De Gea saga is expected to drag on until deadline day as United and Real struggle to come to an agreement for the unsettled goalkeeper, who is yet to feature under manager Louis van Gaal this term.
Van Gaal insists De Gea will not be sold before the window shuts, despite the 24-year-old's contract expiring at the end of the season.
Schmeichel is fed up with the situation and wants De Gea to stay in Manchester this season and beyond.
"I hope that we'll see him. I hope that some kind of resolution is found within the next couple of days," the 51-year-old Dane told Sky Sports News.
"I would love David de Gea to commit to Manchester United, you know, and sign a new five-year contract. He has been absolutely outstanding in the last two seasons."
Schmeichel, who also had Premier League spells with Aston Villa and Manchester City, also understands why a move to the Bernabeu would appeal to De Gea.
