Manchester United and David de Gea were a couple for a decade. The 33-year-old was one of, if not the finest, goalkeepers in the world at the pinnacle of his profession.

The fans were taken aback when the Spanish player announced on social media that he was leaving the team. The athlete then announced that, should a decent offer not come his way soon, he might think about retiring.

As his career draws to a close, De Gea does not want to remain a benchwarmer. He wants to give it everything he has on the field, not just on the sidelines, if he decides to play again. To induce him to don his gloves once more, a ridiculous offer from a well-known team will be necessary.

An opportunity at Newcastle United has been mentioned. But, due to Nick Pope’s injury, the team is merely in search of a goalie. For De Gea, this will almost certainly be a deal-breaker.

It could seem conceited for him to desire to be the starting goalie. However, considering the 30-year-old’s track record in goal at Manchester United, everything makes sense.

David de Gea played in 545 games for the team at Old Trafford. At 1.89 meters tall, he was a formidable presence. His record speaks for itself, as he kept an incredible 190 clean sheets with the Red Devils (Transfermarkt).

David De Gea is a legend in the game, and he shouldn’t be let to retire for lack of suitors. The Spanish player’s admirers are eager to see him don his gloves once more in the future.
