MANCHESTER UNITED coach Emilio Alvarez is playing a key role in David De Gea’s future at Old Trafford.
The Spaniard is at deadlock over a new United contract with talks resuming before the end of the season.
And Alvarez’s closeness to De Gea is an important part of getting the deal over the line.
De Gea has been impressed with United’s progress and their potential for winning trophies under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
He has told team-mates he is more inclined to stay than leave.
But there has been no breakthrough over him landing a £350,000-a-week deal
United being desperate for him to stay beyond his current 2020 deal, with Paris Saint-Germain monitoring his situation.
Real Madrid have also been long-term admirers of the 28-year-old.
Alvarez has been a mentor to De Gea and will have an influence on his decision.
He was the only member of Jose Mourinho’s staff to be retained when Solskjaer took over in December.
The 57-year-old also mentored De Gea at Atletico Madrid between 2009 and 2011, with the pair having a close working relationship.
