On the evening of July 8 (Vietnam time), reputable transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed that goalkeeper David de Gea has officially left the “Red Devils” after 12 years of association and has become a free agent. He is the last remaining player from the time when legendary coach Sir Alex Ferguson sat in the “hot seat” at Old Trafford.

At the same time, on his personal Twitter page, goalkeeper David de Gea also sent his farewell message to MU. This "Spiderman" shared: "I want to say goodbye to all the beloved fans of MU. I want to express my gratitude and love for everyone over the past 12 years. We have achieved many things together since coach Sir Alex Ferguson brought me to this team."

According to the Spanish goalkeeper, since moving to Old Trafford, he has had unforgettable moments and successful periods. At the same time, he clearly stated that now is the right time for him to accept a new challenge, to push himself in a new environment. "MU will always be in my heart. The team that shaped me will never leave. We have seen it all together," goalkeeper David de Gea emphasized.

Goalkeeper David de Gea joined MU in the summer of 2011 with a transfer fee of 20 million euros, a record for a goalkeeper in the Premier League at that time.

In the MU shirt, he had more than 500 appearances, was named in the Premier League Team of the Year 5 times and won 1 Premier League title, 1 FA Cup, 2 League Cups, 3 FA Community Shields and 1 UEFA Europa League.

Once considered one of the world's top goalkeepers, David de Gea's form has declined since 2018 with unfortunate mistakes. For this reason, MU's board of directors is not interested in renewing his contract in the summer of 2023.

In fact, goalkeeper David de Gea's contract with the Old Trafford team expired on June 30, but he received a request not to negotiate with any team while waiting for the "Red Devils" to negotiate with goalkeeper Andre Onana of Inter Milan. The Cameroonian goalkeeper is the number 1 target to replace David de Gea in the "Red Devils" goal next season. MU and Inter Milan are actively negotiating.

Currently, goalkeeper David de Gea is unemployed. He is said to have had some offers to return to Spain to play or to go to the Saudi Pro League to follow in the footsteps of many other stars such as Ronaldo, Benzema or Kante.
