Jesse Lingard has urged Manchester United to hand David de Gea a new deal.
The Spain No.1 has just 18 months left on his contract after the club activated a one-year extension in November.
De Gea made 11 second-half saves to ensure United beat Tottenham 1-0 at Wembley on Sunday.

The 28-year-old has been linked with a move to Real Madrid over the past few years, but team-mate Lingard is desperate for him to stay at Old Trafford.
The winger, 26, said: “He’s one of the best keepers in the world, if not the best. We want him to stay.
“Having a keeper like that gives you extra confidence. He’s a great goalkeeper.”
De Gea denied Harry Kane, Dele Alli, Fernando Llorente and Toby Alderweireld as Tottenham pestered his goal.
The former Atletico Madrid stopper has come to United’s rescue time and time again since joining the club in 2011.
And Lingard was not surprised by his most recent man-of-the-match display.
He added: “It’s a normal day for him, he was excellent.
“They looked like scoring but he’s saved us.
“We see that in training and it pays off when it comes to the big games. Some of his saves, you’re like, ‘Oh my god’”.
