After leaving Manchester United six months ago, David de Gea is still without a club, and the 33-year-old goalkeeper has been linked with a transfer to Newcastle in order to fill in for Nick Pope.
Even though he has been away from Manchester United for six months, David de Gea is still working out on his own in the hopes of finding a new club to play for.
As a result of his 12 years of service to United, during which he made 545 appearances for the club, De Gea resigned from his position as manager in June. Over the course of his tenure at United, the 33-year-old had become a contentious character, but the difficulties experienced by Andre Onana, who succeeded him, have contributed to the enhancement of his retrospective reputation.
At United, the Spanish goalkeeper was receiving a weekly salary of approximately 375 thousand pounds, and the compensation demands that he made have been detrimental to his position as a free agent. In spite of this, he has made it very known that he is prepared to return to playing football at a competitive level by publishing regular updates on social media.
A image of goalkeeping gloves on a field was recently shared by De Gea to his 15 million Instagram followers, along with an animated caption that said, “Work, work, work.” This photo went viral and caused a lot of people to talk about it. There have been rumors that he could be moving to Newcastle, which is now without its first-choice goalkeeper due to the fact that Nick Pope suffered a major shoulder injury when playing versus United on December 2.

David de Gea has posted a mysterious statement on social media, hinting to his comeback to the Premier League.
In order to treat his dislocated shoulder, Pope underwent surgery, and it is anticipated that he will be out of action for around four months. Martin Dubravka has been brought in to fill his void, but the former United loanee has allowed nine goals in three games, including losses to Everton, Tottenham, and AC Milan. This has sparked rumors that Newcastle could make contact with De Gea.
It’s possible that the Magpies will make an effort to recruit the seasoned goalkeeper on a temporary contract that will last until the conclusion of the season. Considering that De Gea has been without a club for the past half a year, it is known that he would be open to the option of joining that team.
When Eddie Howe was speaking earlier this month, he stated that he had not yet made contact with De Gea or any other goalkeeper for that matter. According to what he said, “We have not made any inquiries or any decisions regarding our recruitment since the beginning of January.” This presents an opportunity for the goalkeepers that we have at the football club to strengthen their positions, and when this opportunity presents itself, it will also be available for every other position at the club.
