Soon after being awarded the Golden Glove medal for his play in goal the previous year, Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea announced in July that he would be leaving the club after 12 years of service. De Gea’s announcement came not long after he had been honored with the trophy.
Because of this in particular, Erik ten Hag felt obligated to make a move during the summer transfer market in order to address the situation. Andre Onana, a goalkeeper from Cameroon, was purchased from Inter Milan for the sum of £47 million as a direct consequence of this transaction.
However, the goalkeeper, who is 27 years old, has not had the easiest start to life at Old Trafford, as he has been responsible for a number of costly mistakes between the sticks. As a result of some of these mistakes, supporters are beginning to wonder whether or not the club should have ever let De Gea leave in the first place.

The 32-year-old footballer has thrown fire to the rumor that he could return to United by posting a picture of himself on Instagram playing padel tennis at a court in Manchester. The picture was published when the player took to Instagram to share it. This picture was shot not long after the player shared another picture of himself at the same court, which can be seen in the background of this one.
If Onana were to make the decision to play for Cameroon at the Africa Cup of Nations in the early part of the next year, De Gea could perhaps serve as a useful backup goalkeeper for the team.
Despite the fact that De Gea is continuing to engage in his high-intensity training program off the field, Ten Hag could attempt to re-sign the player because De Gea has not yet made a commitment to a new team and is still a free agent. This is because De Gea has not yet signed with a new team.
However, there are suggestions that De Gea wants to settle down in Spain, which is his home nation. De Gea was born and raised in Spain. There are also rumors going around that he is thinking about retiring at this point.
Fans have done the math and feel that Manchester United could try to get De Gea on a temporary move. They believe this since they have seen him play for both clubs. They have drawn the connection regardless of whether or not De Gea’s visit had anything to do with his prior club, although it remains to be seen whether or not it did.
On Twitter, one user inquired, “Possible short-term contract till the season ends?”
