At the end of the contract, and after twelve seasons at Manchester United, David de Gea has confirmed that he is leaving the Red Devils for good. The goalkeeper arrived from Atlético Madrid, his training club, in 2011 for 25 million euros.

I just wanted to send this farewell message to all Manchester United supporters. I want to express my gratitude to you for the love you have given me for the past 12 years. We have achieved a lot since dear Sir Alex Ferguson brought me to this club. I was incredibly proud every time I put on that shirt, leading this team, representing this institution and the biggest club in the world was an honor reserved for a few lucky footballers. It was an unforgettable period and a real success. I didn’t think that by leaving Madrid when I was just a young boy, we would realize what we did together. Now is the right time to take on a new challenge, to immerse myself again in a new environment. Manchester will always be in my heart, Manchester shaped me and will never leave me “said David de Gea.
