12 seasons. 545 games. 190 clean sheets. A Manchester United legend left Old Trafford in 2023 but never got the dignified farewell he deserved. Erik ten Hag pushed for the Spaniard to make room for his favourite goalkeeper, uncertainty right up until the end of the season meant that De Gea also never got an official farewell match with the United supporters at Old Trafford. History has shown that the choice to send De Gea out of the club was wrong, but the Spaniard has nevertheless acted loyally until recently.
Now it has emerged that David de Gea had plenty of opportunities to stay in the Premier League after 2023.
“I turned down offers from clubs in England. Because when you’ve spent so many years at a club like United, you don’t want to play for another club in England,” De Gea joins Cronache di Spogliatoio.

“I just wanted to play for Manchester United, and even though I got offers from other English clubs, I knew it would be impossible to play anywhere else. I have spent almost my entire life there. It’s the club that shaped me and gave me a fantastic career,” the Fiorentina goalkeeper concludes.
This is what Man Utd supporters love to hear. Respect.
