When David De Gea left Manchester United last summer, everyone was convinced that it wouldn’t take long for him to return to a club. And the Spaniard has also been announced in some great destinations. At the beginning of August, there was even talk of a signing for Real Madrid to replace the injured Thibaut Courtois, before the Merengues turned to Kepa Arrizabalaga. But the summer has passed, and if most of the highly rated free agents have found a club, David De Gea is still waiting…
It must be said that the goalkeeper trained at Atlético de Madrid does not yet seem tempted by so-called exotic destinations, as the Saudi Pro League could be. DDG wants to stay in Europe, but his salary demands make things complicated for many potentially interested clubs. In recent days, he has been training with Manchester United to stay in shape.
A crazy turnaround
And The Sun unveils a real bomb this Thursday. The English media explains that the Red Devils are considering recruiting, once again, De Gea, three months after letting him go free. The newspaper even speaks of a “embarrassing twist”. Manchester United were also surprised to learn that Andre Onana, the starting goalkeeper, had decided to come out of his international retirement and would therefore play the CAN in January, missing a good number of matches with his club. It should also be noted that the former Inter player had a somewhat complicated start with the Mancuniens, even if there were improvements in his last outings.
It would be a short-term contract for the Iberian goalkeeper who has already spent 12 years at Old Trafford, with a string of good, average and sometimes bad performances. He had refused the extension approaches of his club, which wanted to reduce its emoluments considerably last summer. But it looks like the two parties could soon relive a second episode of their beautiful love story…
