Manchester United supporters have been stunned to learn that David de Gea, the legendary Spanish goalkeeper, has officially re-signed for the club on a two-year contract, overcoming long-standing tensions with the board. The club’s head coach, Ruben Amorim, has confirmed De Gea is expected to start in the upcoming pre-season fixture against Fiorentina next week.
๐งฉ Back From the Wilderness
David de Gea originally left Old Trafford in July 2023, after 12 trophy-laden years and 545 first-team appearances, following a contract dispute and failed renewal negotiations . He spent more than a year without a club before joining Fiorentina in August 2024, where he impressed enough to earn a contract extension through 2028 .
๐ฅ Return Confirmed Despite Board Issues
Rumours had swirled about unresolved “underground issues” he had with Unitedโs boardโirreconcilable wage demands, fractured communication, and perceived lack of respectโissues De Gea has now publicly addressed. Following a last-minute meeting last night, both sides appear to have put past grievances to rest in order to reunite for what fans hope will be a redemptive era.
โ Amorimโs Endorsement
Amorim has personally confirmed De Geaโs return, stating the veteran will start in the friendly match against Fiorentina next week. This marks a dramatic turnaround from Amorimโs previous season, when goalkeeping mistakes from Andre Onana put United’s defensive stability under intense scrutiny .
โฝ Why the Return Makes Sense Now
Onana has struggled: Multiple high-profile errors and inconsistent form have left fans and staff frustrated. De Geaโs experience offers reliable cover and mentorship .
Familiarity and legacy: De Gea remains one of Unitedโs most decorated players and retains deep bonds with former teammates, including Bruno Fernandes .
Renewed motivation: At Fiorentina, De Gea kept 10 clean sheets with a 74% save rate, earning plaudits and proving heโs still capable at a high level .
