Jose Mourinho insists he knows David de Gea wants to stay at Manchester United and is convinced the Spain international will sign a new contract.
De Gea has developed into arguably the world s best goalkeeper at United having joined from Atletico Madrid in 2011, but his future has regularly been the subject of speculation.
Although United managed to tie him down amid interest from Real Madrid in 2015, that deal will expire in June if the club do not trigger their option for an extension.
The chances of United not doing so are minuscule, but that would only buy them another season, and rumours have suggested Paris Saint-Germain are interested in bringing De Gea to France.

Inter Milan moved back to the top of Serie A in convincing style with a 3-0 win at defending champions Napoli.
Simone Inzaghi’s side had been knocked off the summit by Juventus’ victory at Monza on Friday, but emphasised their title credentials after being set on their way by a stunning goal from Hakan Calhanoglu.
Nicolo Barella doubled Inter’s lead just after the hour mark and Marcus Thuram made certain of all three points five minutes from time.
The win takes Inter two points clear of Juventus and 11 in front of Napoli, who have now taken just seven points from a possible 21 at home.
A HUGE 3 POINTS!

The home side in fact made a bright start and could have gone ahead in the third minute, only for Yann Somm…
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said Manchester United do not have to splash the cash on superstar signings, urging the Red Devils to adopt a careful approach in the transfer market.
United have invested heavily since Alex Ferguson left in 2013, spending large sums on high-profile players like Angel di Maria, Radamel Falcao and Alexis Sanchez, who have not delivered.
Sanchez has struggled to convince since arriving from Premier League rivals Arsenal in January last year, while former boss Jose Mourinho repeatedly called on United s hierarchy to spend more in the quest for success.
Caretaker manager Solskjaer, however, wants United to focus on buying players that fit the Manchester club.

Arsenal could be set to sell Aaron Ramsey as they attempt to avoid losing him on a free transfer next summer, according to the Mail Online.
The Wales international will enter the final year of his contract in the summer and they are keen to cash in as opposed to losing yet another star for no fee.
Ramsey moved to the Emirates Stadium from Cardiff City in the summer of 2008 and has since racked up three hundred and nineteen appearances in all competitions, scoring fifty-three goals.
He has helped the Gunners win the FA Cup in three of the past four seasons with the first of those trophies coming in 2014, when he was also named the club’s Player of the Year.
Internationally, he has been capped fifty-two times for his country, scoring thirteen goals w…
Juventus head coach Massimiliano Allegri said success does not come by chance after guiding the Italian giants to an eighth successive Serie A title.
Saturday s 2-1 victory over Fiorentina extended Juve s domestic dominance with five rounds remaining – a streak dating back to 2011.
Allegri has claimed five successive Scudetto honours since replacing Antonio Conte in 2014, however, he has been criticised for Juve s failure in Europe.
Juve – who have finished runners-up in the Champions League twice under Allegri amid their drought which goes back to 1996 – were eliminated by Ajax in the quarter-finals this season.

Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere will leave the North London club when his contract expires at the end of June.
The 26-year-old English international is putting an end to a decade-long stint with his boyhood club.
Wilshere made the total of 197 first-team appearances for the Gunners since 2008 but will largely remain remembered for frequent stints on the sidelines due to numerous injury problems.
Jack Wilshere has been negotiating a new deal with his club for months but has ultimately decided to leave the Emirates-based side once Unai Emery was appointed new manager. Wilshere was not given first-team assurances and has ultimately opted to leave the club.
Arsenal football club thanked Jack Wilshere for his service during the last ten years during whic…

TOP STORY – SPURS WANT BALE BACK IN EXCHANGE FOR ERIKSEN
Tottenham want to bring Gareth Bale back to North London in a swap deal that would see want-away midfielder Christian Eriksen join Real Madrid, claims The Sun.
It is said that LaLiga giants Madrid would receive £25.7million (€30m) as well as Eriksen in a deal that could reunite Bale with the club he left in 2013.
Eriksen has been linked to Manchester United, Atletico Madrid, Juventus, Inter and other clubs in E…
Paul Pogba s sensational strike sent Manchester United back to the top of the Premier League as a 2-1 victory at Fulham extended their unbeaten away run to a record-equalling 17 matches.
United had slipped below both Leicester City and rivals Manchester City in the prior 24 hours but had a response at Craven Cottage despite trailing again to Ademola Lookman s early effort on Wednesday.
It was the seventh time Ole Gunnar Solskjaer s side had conceded first on the road in the league this season, yet goals from Edinson Cavani and, in spectacular fashion, Pogba ensured this encounter ended in the same fashion as the previous six with a United win.
The Red Devils have not lost a league fixture away from Old Trafford in more than a year and their 17-game streak now ma…
Inaki Williams was proud of his match-winning strike against Barcelona in the Supercopa de Espana final, labelling it the best goal of his career.
Williams was the hero for Athletic, who upstaged Barca 3-2 after extra time thanks to his 93rd-minute goal in Seville on Sunday.
Barca star Antoine Griezmann had opened the scoring in the 40th minute, but Williams teed up Oscar de Marcos for the equaliser two minutes later at Estadio de La Cartuja.
Griezmann struck again with 13 minutes remaining before Athletic substitute Asier Villalibre forced extra time at the death, and Williams completed the shock result in the 93rd minute as Barca captain Lionel Messi saw red.
It secured a third Supercopa crown for Athletic – who shocked Real Madrid in the semi-final …

Looking to widen their buffer at the top of the table this weekend, Atletico Madrid will welcome Valencia to the Wanda Metropolitano on Sunday night.
Atletico Madrid
Starting with the hosts, managing to come from behind and snatching a 2-1 win away at Eibar earlier in the week, the mood in Atletico Madrid s camp should be at a real high. Despite crashing out of the Copa del Rey thanks to a shock 1-0 loss away at lower-league Cornellà on January 6th, Los Colchoneros have continued on a real La Liga romp so far this season. Building off of both Barcelona s and Real Madrid s continued slip-ups, Diego Simeone s men already find themselves holding a seven-point buffer at the top of the table. Now seen as the leading contender in the La Lig…
