Andre Onana goes ahead of David De Gea latest FIFA ranking
Manchester United is reportedly contemplating a surprising move to reacquire Spanish goalkeeper David De Gea, who is currently a free agent.
This news was shared by Football Daily on their official Facebook page, sparking significant reactions from football fans worldwide. The Red Devils are exploring the possibility of bringing back De Gea for a short-term deal to cover for Andre Onana, who will be participating in the AFCON in January 2023.
A few months ago, De Gea departed from Manchester United after the club chose not to renew his contract, leaving him as a free agent. With Andre Onana’s upcoming absence due to his commitments with the Cameroon National Team in the AFCON, the return of David De Gea as a short-term replacement is being considered as a viable option.

Manchester United’s injury problems are well-documented at this point with the defence the worst affected as manager Erik ten Hag is forced to chop and change for every game.
The Dutchman admitted as much after the Copenhagen thriller, hinting that this constant reshuffle is not allowing the team to play in the manner the fans are expecting.
With Raphael Varane’s poor injury record and the uncertain future of Harry Maguire, it is clear to see that Ten Hag needs to add more steel to his defence.
There have been reports stating United are preparing a defensive shortlist while a lot of defenders have been linked with a move to Old Trafford recently.
The latest name to be added to the list comes courtesy 90min, who have linked Lille’s teen sensation Leny Yoro to multiple Premier League clubs including United as well as other European heavyweights.
The 17-year-old recently became the second-youngest debutant for the French club, overtaking Eden Hazard in the process, and is enjoying a breakthrough campaign currently.
The France U21 international has made 11 appearances across all competitions this term, scoring twice while helping his team keep five clean sheets.
The backline is currently without three of their four permanent full-backs while World Cup-winning centre-back Lisandro Martinez remains sidelined after undergoing an operation on his foot recently.
Chelsea seem to be the frontrunners for his signature at the moment, with the London side open to agreeing a deal that would keep him at his current club for the time being, before his arrival next summer.
Such a ploy was successfully employed in Chelsea’s captures of the likes of Christopher Nkunku and Malo Gusto.
“Chelsea are closely following the progress of 17-year-old Lille sensation Leny Yoro and could employ a similar negotiating tactic used in the deals to sign Christopher Nkunku and Malo Gusto, 90min understands.
“Sources have confirmed to 90min that Blues scouts have been thoroughly impressed with Yoro, who has firmly established himself as one of Europe’s most in-demand young defenders.
“Indeed, Paris Saint-Germain have tracked Yoro alongside Atletico Madrid and Borussia Dortmund, while 90min understands that both Liverpool and Manchester United are aware of the 17-year-old’s progress but are yet to advance their interest.”
Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho is being investigated by the Football Association over a photo about team-mate Andre Onana that the Argentine posted after the Manchester United v Copenhagen match in which the goalkeeper saved his team’s penalty.
