Manchester United and David de Gea had a 12-year relationship. At his peak, the 33-year-old was one of the best goalkeepers in the world, if not the best.

The fans were taken aback when the Spanish national announced his departure from the club via social media. This was quickly followed by the player revealing that if a suitable offer did not reach him shortly, he would contemplate retiring.

De Gea does not want to sit on the bench as his career comes to a close. If he is going to play again, he wants to leave it all on the field, not on the sidelines. It will take a ridiculous offer from a major club to convince him to put on his gloves again.

There has been some speculation about a possible move to Newcastle United. However, the team is just seeking for a goalie due to the injury to Nick Pope. This will almost certainly be a deal breaker for De Gea.

His desire to be the primary goalkeeper may come out as arrogant. But it all makes sense when you consider the 30-year-old’s goalkeeping record at Manchester United.

David de Gea made 545 appearances for Manchester United. He was a force to be reckoned with, standing 1.89m tall. This is evident in his record, as he kept a whopping 190 clean sheets with the Red Devils (Transfermarkt).

David De Gea, a football superstar, should not be allowed to retire due to a lack of suitors. Fans are eager to see the Spaniard put on his gloves again at some point in the future.
