Ten Hag is not wrong, he is Man United's best, now he must make huge sacrifice

The core principle of Eriks Ten Hag's philosophy at Manchester United is unity, both on and off the pitch. It is the central theme to all his actions at the club but his demand for unity has hit one of his key players the hard way as he hopes to stay at United.

When the Dutchman took over in the summer, one of his assurances in the club was that certain players like David De Gea, Marcus Rashford, and Bruno Fernandes would be key pieces of the new Manchester United team that he intends to build.

David De Gea has been excellent for the club this season in a number of important moments to keep them alive in games. His undeniable quality has been tested numerous times and he remained unfazed when facing the opposition attacks.

His yearning to continue as United's number was backed by Erik Ten Hag and the board as well as the decision to extend his contract beyond the current seen. The decision has been a welcoming development for him after several months of worries.

What sacrifice must De Gea make for United?

Earlier this week, reports revealed that the Red Devils manager and the board have decided to initiate a salary cap of 200 000 euros per week. This new change will expectedly affect David De Gea's ongoing contract talks with the club and require a huge sacrifice from David De Gea to ensure that United still gets to enjoy his services beyond this current campaign.
