Fan group Manchester United Supporters' Trust (MUST)ย put a poll up on their Facebook page asking:ย "If you had a straight choice to either keep David de Gea or sell him as part of a player exchange deal for Gareth Bale with Real Madrid, what would you choose to do?"
The response? Amazingly, over 99 percent said they would rather keep their goalkeeper than bring in Bale.ย
A MUST spokesperson told the Daily Mirror:
"With this in mind it signals the challenge (executive vice-chairman) Ed Woodward and (owners) the Glazers have to get Manchester United's most popular player signed up on a new contract, before Real Madrid attempt to prise him away.
