Posted : 08 July 2023
Spanish goalkeeper David de Gea has confirmed that he is leaving Manchester United this summer, stating that it is the right time for him to undertake a new challenge. The 32-year-old, who has been at United for 12 years, became a free agent when his contract expired in June.
De Gea expressed his gratitude to the Manchester United supporters and reflected on his achievements during his time at the club, including winning multiple trophies.
De Gea's departure comes as Manchester United is reportedly close to securing a deal for Inter Milan goalkeeper Andre Onana.
The announcement marks the end of an era for De Gea, who holds club records for the most appearances and clean sheets by a goalkeeper at Manchester United. He expressed his pride in representing the club and acknowledged the impact it had on shaping his career.
While the details of the contract extension initially agreed upon between De Gea and United were changed, leading to the decision to part ways, De Gea remains appreciative of his time at the club. He now looks forward to embarking on a new challenge and pushing himself in new surroundings.
De Gea's departure leaves a significant void to fill in Manchester United's goalkeeping position.
Throughout his tenure at Manchester United, De Gea has been recognized for his outstanding performances, winning several individual awards and contributing to the team's success. He leaves a lasting legacy as one of the club's best-ever goalkeepers.
