A journalist has categorically dismissed the possibility of a move to Manchester United for a star with 415 Premier League appearances.
Manchester United has been associated with a potential move for Spanish goalkeeper David De Gea.
Manchester United has been associated with a potential move for Spanish goalkeeper David De Gea.
The 32-year-old goalkeeper departed from Manchester United as a free agent earlier in the summer, sparking rumors of a potential return to the club.
The shaky performances of summer signing Andre Onana, coupled with his propensity for errors, have fueled speculation that Manchester United may require another goalkeeper.
While it’s acknowledged that David De Gea could serve as a valuable short-term option for the club, journalist Ben Jacobs firmly dismisses the notion of his return to Old Trafford.
Jacobs informed Give Me Sport that even if Manchester United were to pursue him, the Spanish goalkeeper has no inclination to come back.
Additionally, Jacobs disclosed that De Gea was dissatisfied with the way his departure from the club transpired during the summer transfer window.
Allegedly, there was a lack of transparency from the club concerning his contract situation.
He stated, “As far as I’m aware, there is no truth in David De Gea returning to Manchester United.
We are aware that De Gea was disappointed with how his departure from Manchester United unfolded due to a lack of clarity right up until he became a free agent.
Eventually, he left, and I believe Manchester United and De Gea have moved on from that chapter.
Even based on discussions with people, I don’t think De Gea would entertain the idea of a return if Manchester United were to attempt it.
However, there is no indication that this is their intention at this stage, so a David De Gea return to Manchester United is, as I’ve been informed, not on the table.”
Undoubtedly, the 32-year-old served as an exceptional asset to the club during his tenure at Old Trafford, contributing significantly to their acquisition of numerous significant titles.
He amassed an impressive 415 Premier League appearances during his time with the club.
Currently, Manchester United could benefit from a goalkeeper of his caliber.
The question remains whether Andre Onana can regain his top form in the upcoming months.
Onana delivered outstanding performances for Inter Milan in the previous season, showcasing his undeniable quality as a goalkeeper.
