After 12 years at the club, David de Gea was released from his contract by Manchester United on July 1. A lack of respect for many observers but a pleasure for a Mancunian supporter, who compiled the mistakes of the doorman in a film of almost two hours.
A page turned at Manchester United on July 1, 2023. The Red Devils said goodbye to their Spanish goalkeeper David de Gea, holder in the cages since 2011. A brutal end which scandalized across the Channel. This is the case of former club defender Rio Ferdinand, disgusted by the discreet but effective Gea. “ He was a servant for this club. He was at this club for 12 years, like me. He was player of the year four or five times during this period. He never brought an ounce of trouble to the club, he never discredited it. (…) I am a bit devastated by the way the club handled this. (…) I think Manchester United must learn from this. Great players have left the club feeling they have not been treated well. No one has the right to leave a club like this “, he said. An opinion that is not shared by all Manchester United supporters.
1h49 of errors by David de Gea in film!
This is the case of a supporter, a man named Erik’s Butcher, who proudly posted a film about David de Gea. A montage of images lasting one hour and 49 minutes which is not really to the glory of the Spanish goalkeeper. The feature film is titled “ David de Gea: Fraud and compiles his blunders in the jersey of the Red Devils. A note of humor that did not make the majority of Mancunian supporters laugh. If David de Gea has often been criticized for his fragility at times, fans would have preferred a better tribute on the occasion of his departure.

The video has been viewed a lot but the opinions are very largely negative. ” A sad, sad man spent nearly two hours putting this together. Yes, it’s time for De Gea to leave, but he’s been a great servant to the club and deserves some respect », « Calm down bro, he may not be perfect for the current team, but he has been excellent and loyal over the years. He is our legend and one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League. Respect him! », « Imagine how long it took this person to make a slanderous two-hour edit. It’s crazy, just crazy! “, could we read in particular. Despite his flaws and mistakes, David de Gea will go down as a Manchester United legend for fans. This film is not likely to change their overall perception of the player.
