Former Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea is making a sensational return to football by joining this shocking club
Former Spanish international and Man United custodian David de Gea booted a football with real force one whole year ago.
The now 33-year-old seemed to reject any offers he came across this time last year when it became evident he was surplus to needs at the Red Devils.
Unceremonically discarded by Erik ten Hag, who intended to place his own man in Andre Onana between the sticks at Man United, de Gea nevertheless seemed to turn away with grace.
At last David de Gea was headed for Saudi Arabia.
Although he would have been excused for letting rip on social media and in print at his treatment by the club after providing them with several years of outstanding service, his quiet at the time said volumes as to the man he is.
