Manchester United Ready To Complete Andre Onana’s Transfer, Atalanta Striker Rasmus Hojlund Can’t Wait To Follow

Meanwhile, Manchester United on Saturday 8 July 2023 finally confirmed that goalkeeper David De Gea would not return to Old Trafford. MU efforts to recruit back the Spaniard ran aground. The Red Devils have said goodbye to De Gea.

De Gea’s contract with MU expired on June 30, 2023. All efforts to extend his contract failed. After being unemployed as of July 1 2023, MU is still trying to negotiate with De Gea so he wants to return and sign a new contract.

Unfortunately Manchester United’s last attempt was also unsuccessful. De Gea reportedly strongly objected to MU’s desire to cut his salary quite significantly and chose to find a new adventure starting in the 2023/2024 season.

De Gea has served MU for 12 years after being bought from Atletico Madrid in 2011. So far, De Gea has been able to show performance as one of the best goalkeepers MU has ever had.

De Gea was able to present one English Premier League trophy, FA Cup, Europa League and two Carabao Cups. Total De Gea appeared 545 times by recording 190 clean sheets. This record made De Gea’s name engraved in the club’s history as the goalkeeper with the most appearances and most clean sheets at MU.

While defending Man Utd, De Gea also won many individual awards. De Gea has twice been the best goalkeeper in the Premier League. He was also four times the player of the year at MU.
