David De Gea has been left unimpressed by Manchester United's latest contract offer, according to reports.
The Red Devils are said to want De Gea to take a pay-cut at the end of the season, with his current deal due to expire in June.
Indeed, the Spaniard's reported £375,000-a-week wage would make him the highest earner at the club, as the Premier League giants aim to reduce their hefty wage bill.

Erik ten Hag has reportedly introduced a salary cap preventing players from earning over £200,000, following claims of 'dressing room jealousy' surrounding player's vastly differing pay cheques.
It is labelled the 'Ronaldo rule', with the Portuguese superstar taking home over £500,000-per-week during his most recent stint at Old Trafford.
However, Football Insider report that De Gea has turned his nose up at United's most recent contract offer, after snubbing United's initial proposal earlier this month.

The publication insists that De Gea is happy in Manchester and willing to take a pay-cut, but the 32-year-old has been left 'unsatisfied' with negotiations so far.
