Amidst rumors of a potential return to Old Trafford, David de Gea seems to be relishing his time in Manchester. The Spanish goalkeeper’s presence in the city this week has sparked speculation about a reunion with United. De Gea has shared social media posts featuring his former teammate Bruno Fernandes and fellow Spaniard Sergio Reguilon, adding to the speculation. On Thursday, he posted a cryptic tweet, further fueling anticipation.
De Gea departed United at the end of the previous season when his contract expired. United brought in £48 million ($58m) goalkeeper Andre Onana as his replacement, but Onana has struggled to make a convincing impact. Reports suggest that Erik ten Hag’s side is interested in re-signing De Gea as cover, especially with Onana set to participate in the African Cup of Nations in January.
Despite interest from clubs like Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, De Gea has remained without a club since leaving United. The question now lingers: can United persuade him to make a comeback?
